A 6-part murder mystery series, voiced entirely by New Zealand's leading comedic satirist Tom Sainsbury, playing characters we all know and love from Small Town Aotearoa.
Something is afoot in the farming community of Te Hoiho in the Wairarapa. The richest man in town, Mitch Buchanan, has been found dead. Killed by the very thing that he brought into the world - his automatic mowers. Everyone in town believes it’s just an unfortunate accident but Mitch’s nephew, Toby Buchanan (a disgraced ex-expose journalist who found infamy in Sydney for making false claims about a cat food company) believes there is something far more sinister going on…

Episode 1: The disgraced journalist, bad cops and the first lead
In the first episode, disgraced journalist Toby Buchanan finds himself back in his hometown and after a voice message from his Uncle Mitch, asking him to meet at his mansion, he finds him dead. Officially it's labelled a heart attack, but thanks to the voice message he thinks there is more to it.
He does what all good middle-aged men do, starts a podcast. Only this podcast is to solve an active murder case.

Episode 2: The affair, an autopsy and the mystery drugs
Toby follows up the first lead, suspicious of his Aunty Janine and her motives to kill his Uncle Mitch. Still not convinced it was a heart attack, he tries to track down the autopsy with little luck to begin with, before he leaves his journalistic integrity at the door to get an Irishman drunk. Thats when he learns the most shocking detail so far!

Episode 3: Drugs, automatic mowers and a long lost father (and murderer?)
Te Hoiho is a horse town, so Toby goes looking for the possible source of the Ketamine that was in his uncle's system when he died. After failing spectacularly, he then shifts his investigation to the automatic mowers, and whether they are capable of the gruesome injuries they inflicted on Mitch. Then, in a shocking turn, he learns his father is in town, and might have a reason to have committed a murder.
