Miller returns from vacation expecting a promotion — the same day the body of her son’s 12-year-old best friend is found on the beach — but she's informed the job's already gone to Emmett Carver (played by David Tennant, who is beyond familiar with the role, having played it already in the U.K. version Broadchurch).
