[1] Duggan follows the investigations of John Duggan, an initially retired Police Detective Inspector who becomes involved in various murder investigations near his home in the Marlborough Sounds at the top of the South Island of New Zealand.

Having retired from his job after the death of his wife, he is initially reluctant to resume his police work.

Through the show, he works to uncover complex murder plots against the backdrop of small-town New Zealand in the late 1990s.

Ironically, production of the series was briefly delayed by a major real-life crime, the 1998 New Year's Day murder of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope.
