Winter is an Australian mystery-drama-thriller television series which premiered on the Seven Network on 4 February 2015, and concluded on 11 March 2015.

In Kings Cross, Sydney, Indiana Hope (Sara West) is a troubled girl who is living in a strip club with her friend and roommate. One night, while crossing the road Indiana is hit by an ongoing car where the car quickly flees the scene and leaves Indiana's unconscious body on the street. Meanwhile, Karly Johansson is chased through her home by a unknown figure who viciously attacks her and pushes her off a cliff to her death below. Her body is found on the rocks by her mother.
Following the successful Mingara murder case, Detective Sergeant Eve Winter (Rebecca Gibney) has taken time off her crime career. After she receives a call, she is sent to Rocky Point, a beautiful seaside fishing town off Sydney where 23-year-old mother Karly Johansson has been murdered. At the scene, Eve meets her husband Luke Thompson (Zac Drayson) who is a fisherman and hysterically breaks down after seeing his dead wife. Eve meets Judith, Karly's mother and sister Lauren (Kate Mulvany). She also meets ambitious Detective Alesia Taylor (Antonia Prebble) who befriends Eve. While there, she reunites with Detective Sergeant Lachlan McKenzie (Peter O'Brien), who has feelings towards Eve. Lachlan suspects that Karly's murder has a connection to a murder case 8 years ago where Paul Paget's wife was found dead on the rocks and he was framed for murder. Eve and Lachlan visit Paget who says that he has nothing to do with it. Paget commits suicide days after which angers Lachlan, believing that he might be the killer.
Eve also hears of Indiana's hit and run accident and rushes to the hospital where she meets Detective Sergeant Jake Harris (Matt Nable) who Eve has a hatred for and also meets her roommate Sharni. That night, Indiana is attacked at the hospital by an unknown figure and escapes.
