The Gone is a police drama starring Richard Flood and Acushla-Tara Kupe as two detectives from opposite sides of the world teaming up to search for a young couple who disappeared in New Zealand.
Richard is Theo Richter, a respected cop who is struggling to cope with events in his past. He flies to Mount Affinity, a small rural town in New Zealand, to help his Kiwi counterpart DS Diana Huia (Acushla-Tara Kupe) find the pair. But could their disappearance be linked to a grisly murder that took place in the town years earlier?
The series also stars Michelle Fairley (Game of Thrones) and Gangs of New York actor Liam Carney.
“We don’t really know why, or what’s going on, but this is Theo’s last job,” says Richard Flood. “He’s thrown into circumstances that are difficult for him personally and it’s also very difficult in the wider aspect of the situation that they’re in, the life and death aspect of it.”
It’s a detective mystery between two cultures that have a lot in common,” adds Acushla-Tara Kupe of the Irish and Kiwi influences. “It’s incredibly gripping up until the very last second.”
