When one of the passengers is killed, Kate asks Jack, who's a former copper, to help solve the crime.

"Who could have a motive to kill, and who might their next victim be?" reads the official synopsis.

It continues: "The unlikely team work together as Jack also tackles show-stopping performances and Kate focuses on moving up the ladder. By the time the case is wrapped up, Jack and Kate understand each other a little better, but as the ship sails on to its next destination it seems their personal journey is far from over."
