Grace

Grace launches a grim investigation after skeletal remains are uncovered in a Brighton storm drain, sparking a detailed forensic inquiry into the mystery. The discovery drags her along a tangled, labyrinthine path that plunges her deep into the town’s concealed, historical past.

Dead Man’s Footsteps is a programme presented as a single episode, falling squarely within the genre of a scripted drama. The title alone hints at a story that reaches back into history, and the format is that of a self‑contained instalment rather than a serial. The core of the episode follows Grace as she is drawn into a dark investigation after skeletal remains are uncovered in a storm drain beneath Brighton. The discovery sets off a probing enquiry that quickly moves beyond the immediate forensic work, pulling her into a maze of clues that are far from straightforward. The tone of the inquiry is unmistakably sinister, with the grim nature of the bones and the damp, hidden setting of the drain creating an atmosphere of unease. As Grace pursues the leads, each step feels more tangled than the last, turning the investigation into a convoluted path that seems to wind back through layers of time. Ultimately, the case forces Grace to trace a labyrinthine trail that reaches deep into the past, suggesting that the answers she seeks are locked away in events long forgotten. The episode therefore charts her descent into a shadowy history, where every revelation brings her closer to the origins of the macabre find.
