Synopsis

A farmer's schoolboy son, Johnny, is drawn in to helping a local drug dealer, Rhys. In defence of the dealer's sister, Sadie, he kills the supplier, Kenny, who had been trying to rape her. Johnny calls his Dad, Nathan, for help, and Nathan calls his brother Caleb to help remove the body. Meanwhile Nathan's farm ownership and that of his elderly neighbours is subject to bidding by wealthy third party investors. These may be a cover for large industrial companies who want to expand their operations.

When Turuk, the top man in the drugs' line, comes after those who killed Kenny, Nathan offers him use of the farm and his neighbour's eggs' retail business as camouflage for his drugs' warehousing and distribution. Meanwhile Jane Crowther, a local policewoman, suspects Nathan of being involved in Kenny's death. A Polish cleaner, Eva (who minds the chickens), becomes involved with the drug shipments to help Nathan & Johnny.
