If you think nothing interesting ever happens in a small Irish town, think again.
Ballycarrick is changing rapidly and not everyone is happy. No more a sleepy backwater, where everyone knows everyone else, and their business, the expansion of cities and towns into rural Ireland means opportunity for some undoubtedly, but not for everyone.
Sergeant Mags Munroe finds herself faced with a situation so unlikely it's almost laughable, but as things unfold, what seemed like a joke, is no longer funny, as sinister influences from much further afield take a keen interest in Ballycarrick, but why?
This, combined with millennial new Garda recruits, obstreperous teenagers, octogenarian parents, and a husband with an infuriating new hobby, all contrive to test Mag’s patience like never before.
