Brighton, rok 1997. Młody policjant Roy Grace, zafascynowany swoją pracą, nie zdaje sobie sprawy, jak bardzo jego żona Sandy czuje się samotna i nieszczęśliwa. Pochłonięty tropieniem sprawcy serii perwersyjnych gwałtów z ostatnich kilku miesięcy, nie zauważa nadciągającej katastrofy osobistej. Dwanaście lat później. Czterdziestoletni nadinspektor Roy Grace powoli podnosi się po stracie Sandy, która zniknęła przed dziewięciu laty w tajemniczych okolicznościach. Kieruje dochodzeniem w sprawie tajemniczego gwałciciela fetyszysty, który atakuje kobiety w markowych szpilkach.

Zaczyna się zwyczajnie: seria porannych scenek pokazuje współczesnych mieszkańców nadmorskiego Brighton zaabsorbowanych swoimi – mniej lub bardziej poważnymi – sprawami. I nagle szok - pogłębiarka w basenie portowym wydobywa z dna morza niezidentyfikowane ludzkie zwłoki. Nikt wtedy jeszcze nie podejrzewa, że jest to pierwsze ogniwo w łańcuchu dramatycznych wydarzeń, w którym splotą się losy wielu osób z Brighton oraz innego - odległego - miasta.

Jedenastego września 2001 roku banalny nieudacznik Ronnie Wilson znajduje swoją szansę: postanawia zniknąć, aby umknąć swojemu przegranemu życiu i gdzieś daleko rozpocząć wszystko od nowa. Pięć lat później w jednym z kanałów nadmorskiego Brighton zostają odnalezione szczątki kobiety. Badający sprawę komisarz Roy Grace odkrywa tropy, które prowadzą go aż na drugą półkulę. Wkrótce zdaje sobie sprawę, że od rozwiązania zagadki zależy życie młodej kobiety, która toczy ze swoim prześladowcą morderczą grę wśród ulic i zaułków brytyjskiego kurortu.

W tym samym czasie, kiedy Brian Bishop zamordował w Brighton swoją żonę, świadkowie widzieli go w oddalonym o 90 kilometrów Londynie. Tak wyglądają fakty, które ustalił prowadzący śledztwo detektyw Roy Grace. Ale tajemnica przebywania podejrzanego w dwu odległych miejscach jednocześnie nie jest jedyną zagadką, przed którą staje. Tropienie cieni przeszłości okazuje się ryzykowną grą, również dla niego. Może zwłaszcza dla niego.

Dla Larry’ego Brookera ten film może okazać się kasowym sukcesem, który tak długo mu się wymykał. Dla Gai, gwiazdy rocka, desperacko poszukującej uznania dla swoich aktorskich umiejętności, ta rola może oznaczać nominację do Oscara. Dla miasta Brighton, wartość kręcenia w ich rejonie hollywoodzkiej produkcji o jednej z największych miejskich historii miłosnych, między Królem Jerzym IV a Marią Fitzherbert – jest niewyobrażalna. Dla detektywa Roy’a Grace’a z komendy w Sussex, to koszmar dziejący się na jego oczach. Obsesyjny prześladowca podąża za Gają.
