A twelve-year-old girl stands chest deep in a frozen lake. She is five months pregnant, and she won't say who the father is, insisting it was 'no one'. Then she disappears. Robin Griffin, the investigating detective, will find this the case that tests her to her limits. In the search for Tui she will first have to find herself.
Exploring a very dark and complicated case, Top of the Lake explores several taboo situations that only make the town in it more and more interesting. With Elizabeth Moss as the lead character, this mystery drama is extremely powerful.
