When a young woman slips away from a camp site where a Jane Austen fantasy event is taking place dressed in period attire, and is found cuddled in the woods with a quill, DCI Barnaby and DS Winter discover that the victim was a journalist interested in the village's healthcare drone delivery program, and are forced to look back in time to find the hugger.
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.
