Ludwig: Cast and plot so far
The story begins when John Ludwig Taylor is contacted by Lucy, his sister-in-law, who tells him that his twin brother James has gone missing. James, a police officer, left behind a cryptic note and a resignation letter.
Lucy believes his disappearance is connected to a recent case and convinces John to impersonate James to retrieve information from his police office. Initially hesitant, John agrees and soon finds himself involved in a live murder investigation.
Though unfamiliar with police procedures, John applies his puzzle-solving skills to the case. Using logic and deduction, he identifies the killer among a group of suspects in an office building. His unexpected success earns him the attention of his brother’s colleagues, who believe he is James.
In episode 2, John becomes entangled in another mystery despite trying to stay away from further investigations. A man disappears from a hotel owned by Lady Bryce. As the case unfolds, John and the team uncover a hidden body and learn that the murder was a collective act by the hotel guests.
Meanwhile, John continues looking for clues about James’s disappearance. He studies a coded notebook James left behind and begins to uncover inconsistencies in old case files, hinting at possible corruption within the police department.
