The setting is the sunny English village of Denbrook where Hugh Jackman plays George Hardy, a shepherd who lives in a trailer on his field. George controls his flock without recourse to the traditional dog, but rather with his instinctive relationship with them all. And he is dedicated only to raising sheep for their wool, not their meat and this is not exactly the attitude of the local agribusiness types who have designs on his land.
In this witty, new breed of mystery, George (Hugh Jackman) is a shepherd who reads detective novels to his beloved sheep every night, assuming they can’t possibly understand but the sheep have voices (Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Patrick Stewart & Bryan Cranston voice the characters) But when a mysterious incident disrupts life on the farm and a murder is committed in the village, the sheep realise they must become the detectives trying to support the victim’s formidable lawyer Lydia Harbottle who is played by Emma Thompson.
As they follow the clues and investigate human suspects, they prove that even sheep can be brilliant crime-solvers. Entertaining and fun!
