When the police appear less than enthusiastic about investigating, Brodie decides to do it himself. On an early morning run along the coast, Brodie spots a woman's body in the water but is unable to prevent it from floating out to sea. This time the absent youth is the niece of a woman he met in a bar, who secured his services through an unorthodox method. In addition to his hunt for a killer and a long-vanished young girl, Brodie takes on another missing-persons case. He is also talked into helping a grieving father find the man who murdered his daughter, and tracking down the niece of a mysterious seductress. While searching for a lost cat, private investigator and former policeman, Jackson Brodie takes on the cold case of a girl who went missing thirty years earlier.

Assisted by his faithful colleague Louise Munroe ( Amanda Abbington), Jackson attempts to provide answers to those without hope of ever finding them any other way. He is the ultimate survivor himself-a bruised optimist, compelled to help others. Intriguing, moving and funny, the character-driven stories conjure up a richly imagined world in which Brodie attempts to bring resolution to the victims of unexplained mysteries and comfort to the survivors of personal tragedies. He is unable to resist coming to the rescue and is a magnet for the bereaved, the lost and the dysfunctional. Private investigator Jackson Brodie ( Jason Isaacs), a former soldier and policeman, hides a deeply empathetic heart under his tough-guy exterior.
