 Police Constable, Nicholas Angel is good at his job, so good in fact, he makes
everyone else look bad. As a result, his superiors at the Met have decided to
sweep him under the carpet. So it is that London's top cop finds himself in the
sleepy West Country village of Sandford. With garden fetes and neighbourhood
watch meetings replacing the action of the city, Angel struggles to adapt to his
situation and finds himself partnered with Danny Butter man, an oafish but well
meaning young Constable. Just as all seems lost, a series of grisly accidents
motivates Angel into action. Convinced of foul play, Angel realises that Sandford
may not be as idyllic as it seems. With his faithful new partner in tow, Angel fights
to prove his instincts are correct and uncover the truth about Sandford. Is Angel
simply losing his mind in the safest, sweetest village in Britain? Or is something far
more sinister at work? Whatever the truth, Sandford is about to get a lot less
sleepy.
