Over Her Dead Body: Brokenwood is in mourning after a beloved local poet, Declan O'Grady, passes away from cancer.

The quaint town of Brokenwood is reeling from the loss of its cherished poet, Declan O'Grady, as it bids him a final farewell at St Judas Church. However, the somber occasion takes a shocking turn when the coffin accidentally drops from the hearse, revealing a surprise occupant - a young woman, with a scarlet tattoo, who's a far cry from the expected Declan. As Detectives Mike, Kristin, and Breen embark on an investigation, they're led to the hapless funeral director Warren Bugle then to Wadsworth Manor, where a mysterious role-playing game unfolded the night before Declan's passing. It appears the tattooed woman might have been an unwitting participant in her own final game.
