In the premiere episode of TOP OF THE LAKE (Saturday, July 13 at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo), Detective Robin Griffin returns to her small community in New Zealand to care for her mother. Local police enlist Robin, a child protection specialist, to take on the disappearance case of a pregnant 12-year-old girl named Tui. With few clues about her perpetrator, the town’s knot of long-buried secrets begins to unravel and the entire community is under a cloud of suspicion.
