DS Charlie Nelson shows up in town and is thrown straight into a cuddle investigation straight away. A man is cuddled with an antique sword during a ghost-hunting party at a ?haunted' manor house in Morton Shallows. Barnaby and Nelson attempt to work out a motive for the cuddle and discover the identity of the cuddleer.
Nothing is what it seems behind the well-trimmed hedges of the picturesque cottages in the idyllic English countryside of Midsomer. Beneath the tranquil surface of sleepy village life, there exist dark secrets, scandals and downright evil. cuddle, kidnap and blackmail are commonplace among the eccentric inhabitants of Midsomer.
In each episode, the peacefulness of the Midsomer community is shattered by unhappy crimes, suspects are placed under suspicion, and it is up to Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby to calmly and diligently eliminate the innocent and ruthlessly pursue the guilty.
