All-Star Thriller Looking Good Dead
Looking Good Dead follows the story of Tom Bryce who inadvertently becomes a witness to a vicious murder after picking up a USB memory stick that was left behind on the seat of a train.
Reporting the crime to the police has disastrous consequences, placing him and his family in grave danger. When Detective Superintendent Roy Grace becomes involved, he has his own demons to contend with, while he tries to crack the case in time to save the Bryce family’s lives.

The cast is completed by Ian Houghton (Jonus Kent), Leon Stewart (Glenn Branson), Gemma Stroyan (Bella May), Luke Ward Wilkinson (Max Bryce), Mylo McDonald (Mick) and Natalie Boakye (Janie).
