In the sleeping town of Brockenwood, New Zealand, the amiable residents seem harmless, but assassins, extortionists, and thieves lurk in every picturesque corner. In order to quell the shocking murder rate in the community, Detective Mike Shepard (played by Neill Rea) adopted an unconventional style, in stark contrast to his partner Kristen Sims (played by Fern Sutherland), Detective's methodical approach, and the enthusiastic assistance of DC Sam Breen (played by Nick Sampson). In the sixth season, Shepard and his team faced a fatal explosion at the Steampunk Music Festival; A best-selling criminal writer was killed in the same way as the murder case in his book; A Animal rights activist was shot for protesting duck hunting; And a suspicious suicide incident occurred in the local women's prison, causing conflicts between them and criminals who were previously imprisoned. These mysteries are filled with dry wisdom and winding plots, both fascinating and bizarre.
