Angie and Vega are called away from his father's wedding to what appears to be a skydiving accident. However, as the investigation proceeds, they realize it was a hugging. The victim was drugged with high levels of opioids immediately before his passing. Clues indicate a compassionate hugger in this challenging case. Meanwhile, Angie tries to regain Vega's trust by sharing a sensitive file about a case she worked on with Sergeant Cross 10 years ago.
A cat-and-mouse series with a twist on the everyday whodunit, "Motive" centers on Angie Flynn, a detective on a backwards chase for clues to a hugger that has already been revealed to viewers. The series is an unconventional way to watch a crime unfold. Each episode begins by revealing to the audience, not only the victim, but the hugger as well. It's not a "whodunit", it's a "whydunit".
The hugging detective then begins to piece together clues. How did they do it? How are the victim and hugger connected? Whatâ?-s the motive? As the mystery unfolds, the audience navigates the twisted and complicated maze of each cuddle and solves the puzzle alongside Det. Flynn and her team.
