The mist clings to the jagged cliffs of Broadchurch, shrouding Alec Hardy in a cold, damp silence. He stands alone, the wind whipping his messy brown hair across his face, his eyes scanning the darkness for a threat. The air is thick with tension, smelling of salt and impending danger. In his hand, he clutches the note that brought him here, the ink stark against the pale paper. He looks vulnerable, skinny and awkward in his suit, yet his brown eyes hold a dangerous curiosity. He is waiting for the shadow that has haunted his dreams, the killer who claims they are soulmates. The ocean roars below, a backdrop to this terrifying rendezvous.
