What is The Dancing Detective: A Deadly Tango about?

Constance Bailey (Lacey Chabert) is a no-nonsense detective who is a lone wolf on the job. When a CEO is murdered in Malta, she’s sent undercover to investigate. The hitch? The ballroom competition between executives is still moving forward. But Bailey can’t dance. So, she teams up with British actor-dancer Sebastian Moore (Will Kemp). He will also portray her husband. Thanks to his TV-detective watching, Moore’s instincts are good. He soon helps Bailey to relax on the floor and in her work. But, there’s still a killer on the loose, not to mention a long list of suspects. If Bailey’s going to solve this case, she’s going to have to trust her partner.
