A darkly absurdist comedy miniseries that pairs a murder mystery with surreal, death-obsessed humour and a cast of eccentric small-town characters.

In the fictional Ontario town of Shuckton, the mayor has been murdered! As the Shuckton residents cope with the loss, a new lawyer moves in to prosecute a suspect – though another resident, unsatisfied with the evidence, tries to find the real killer.
