Haunted by her mother's death and battling a hidden addiction, police officer Sam O'Connell is on the brink of losing everything: her job, her son, and herself.
When her estranged son Jay falls under the influence of his drug-dealing father, Sam is forced to confront the cycle she's spent a lifetime outrunning.
Set against the backdrop of a sun-bleached yet unforgiving Hastings, DeadBeat is a raw, unflinching drama about trauma, redemption, and the brutal fight for a second chance. It's an intimate look at the frontline professionals who protect and serve, yet often suffer in silence.
