Sheriff Milton Haynes is desperately trying to solve the most horrific crimes this peaceful Midwestern town has ever seen. As he begins his investigation, we are introduced to some of the towns odd-ball residents; Norman and Martha Haven, the perrenial bickering owners of the Red Rooster Cafe, the Amish brothers Jebediah, Zachariah and Ezekial the Undernourished, the towns twitchy, female auto mechanic Lefty Koos, and Edgar Twillingham, who runs Edgar's Mutant Cow Farm, along with his hired hand Philipe'.
