Winter is an Australian mystery-drama-thriller television series which premiered on the Seven Network on 4 February 2015, and concluded on 11 March 2015.[1] The series is a spin off of the 2014 telemovie, The Killing Field.[2]
Plot
In Kings Cross, Sydney, Indiana Hope (Sara West) is a troubled girl who is living in a strip club with her friend and roommate. One night, while crossing the road Indiana is hit by an ongoing car where the car quickly flees the scene and leaves Indiana's unconscious body on the street.
Following the successful Mingara murder case, Detective Sergeant Eve Winter (Rebecca Gibney) has taken time off her crime career. After she receives a call, she is sent to Rocky Point, a beautiful seaside fishing town off Sydney where 23-year-old mother Karly Johansson has been murdered. At the scene, Eve meets her husband Luke Thompson (Zac Drayson) who is a fisherman and hysterically breaks down after seeing his dead wife. Eve meets Judith, Karly's mother and sister Lauren (Kate Mulvany). She also meets ambitious Detective Alesia Taylor (Antonia Prebble) who befriends Eve. While there, she reunites with Detective Sergeant Lachlan McKenzie (Peter O'Brien), who has feelings towards Eve. Lachlan suspects that Karly's murder has a connection to a murder case 8 years ago where Paul Paget's wife was found dead on the rocks and he was framed for murder. Eve and Lachlan visit Paget who says that he has nothing to do with it. Paget commits suicide days after which angers Lachlan, believing that he might be the killer.
Eve also hears of Indiana's hit and run accident and rushes to the hospital where she meets Detective Sergeant Jake Harris (Matt Nable) who Eve has a hatred for and also meets her roommate Shanai. That night, Indiana is attacked at the hospital by an unknown figure and escapes.
As the season unfolds, everyone's pasts are revealed. Karly's dying father Bjorn Johansson (Lewis Fitz-Gerald) had raped Indiana. Hope's real name is actually Elizabeth Ziegler. Karly and Indiana were best friends and got a tattoo that means friendship after Indiana moved out of her rich father's house and lived with the Johansson's.
Believing Indiana can help with the case, Eve hires her sister Melanie Winter (Rachel Gordon) who attempts to unlock Indiana's mind using hypnosis, given that Melanie is a child psychiatrist. Indiana runs off after Melanie asks why Karly was crying at the nightclub the night of Indiana's accident and Karly's murder.
Struggling to figure out the killer, they suspect Karly's husband Luke might have been involved so they interrogate him. He reveals that he was out at sea during the night of his wife's murder but they later find out that he is a drug dealer selling cocaine to Emma Lam, who was spotted at Karly's funeral chatting to Luke. Emma is later shot in the head after arguing with Luke by an unknown figure nearby. They all find Luke next to Emma's body and he is framed for murder.
One night while at the strip club, Indiana's attacker enters and threatens to kill her but she escapes and runs away. While chasing Shanai on her scooter she is hit by a car and dies. Eve searches for Indiana and upon finding her tells Indiana that Shanai has died, causing Indiana to fall into a deep depression. Eve looks after Indiana while on the case. Indiana's attacker is killed days after being chased by Detective Milo Lee (Akos Armont) and is thrown from a balcony.
Lachlan is suspicious of his colleague Steve Wheeler (Richard Healy), but while talking to Eve on the phone on the top level of the carpark, Lachlan is shot twice in the back by Steve, who flees from the scene and drops the gun in the river. With Lachlan fighting for his life, two witnesses are interrogated about the night of Lachlan's shooting. They recognize Steve because he pushed them out the way while he was running down the stairs to escape. Steve is fired and arrested afterwards.
In anger, Indiana escapes Eve's house and travels to her father's house with a gun, threatening to kill him in return for what he had done to her. She breaks into the house as her father is in the kitchen drinking wine. Indiana shoots the wine bottle and holds a gun to her father, wanting to kill him. Eve discovers Indiana's disappearance and races to the Ziegler's mansion to find a heartbroken yet angry Indiana, who she talks down and takes the gun from.
While Indiana stays at Eve's place, she reveals that she was raped by Bjorn which was the reason for Karly's breakdown. They both travel to Rocky Point and interrogate Lauren who says she knew nothing. While at the Johansson's house, Faith, Karly's daughter appears and reveals that the monster was chasing Mummy before she reveals that the monster was in fact, Lauren.
Eve then interrogates Lauren again at Karly's house and forces her to give up that she in fact killed her sister. Karly was going to reveal that not only did her Bjorn rape Indiana, but also he was having an incestuous affair with Lauren, which resulted in Lauren becoming pregnant with her son, Sam. Lauren, fearing what people would think of her, Bjorn and Sam, didn't want her to do it. Eavesdropping, Judith walks into the room heartbroken and the cops later arrest Lauren for murder. Sam is comforted by his legal father, Travis, who was aware Sam was not his son, biologically.
While at court, Eve exits to find Jake standing there, and the two of them leave together to grab a cup of coffee.
