Charting the life and dramas of a community about to be enveloped by a feud, through the eyes of those who police it, each episode will be a mix of 'crime of the week' stories and on-going serial arcs, following principle characters in both their professional and personal lives.

The third series is performed by comedians David McSavage, John Colleary, Pat McDonnell and Dermot McMorrow among others.
