Meet Rusty Cohle and Marty Hart, two detectives with polar opposite personalities but united in their shared perception of justice. The first season sees them reunite after a fallout to resolve the murder of a young girl who was killed in the same manner as the prostitute Dora Lange back in 1995, a case in which both Cohle and Harte worked together. The story is framed within two timeframes-1995 and 2012 and emphasizes the connection of the old case to the new murder. Throughout their investigations, we see the duo battling their respective moral dilemmas and past resentment toward each other to arrive at a conclusion that is both frightening and unsettling.
