George Hardy, a shepherd who reads murder mysteries to his sheep, is found dead under suspicious circumstances. The sheep, secretly avid mystery fans, decide to solve the case themselves. Their investigation takes them beyond the meadow into a world far more complicated than their books.

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 when a mysterious incident disrupts life on the farm, the sheep realise they must become the detectives. As they follow the clues and investigate human suspects, they prove that even sheep can be brilliant crime-solvers
