Keeping Mum

In the quaint English village of Wellow, where life moves at a leisurely pace and secrets hide behind picturesque picket fences, the arrival of a new vicar, Reverend Patrick Green, disrupts the tranquil routine of its residents. Struggling to adapt to his new role, Patrick finds solace in the company of his eccentric parishioners and his spirited, free-spirited wife, Sarah. However, lurking beneath the quaint surface are hidden troubles that threaten to unravel the fabric of the community.

At the heart of the village is Agnes, a seemingly sweet elderly lady whose sharp wit and keen observations make her a beloved figure among the locals. As the village grapples with a series of unexplained disappearances, Agnes believes that the tranquility of Wellow is merely an illusion, masking the chaos beneath.
