A freak storm maroons a troupe of actors on an island in Duck Bay, Prince Edward County. They are there to rehearse an interactive mystery play featuring Detective William Murdoch. There are seven of them. At least until one of them is murdered. It is obvious the perpetrator has to be one of them. But who? No one else came, nobody has left. One of the group is pressured into taking on the job of investigating the crime for the safety of all. As it turns out, each of them had reason to wish the victim dead. However, there is another sudden death. Now there are five. Will there be more? And why?

Small Town is a satirical, character-driven dramedy full of humour and heart. In Monroe, tradition reigns, Main Street is both courthouse and gathering place, and change sparks chaos. When mayoral hopeful Kyle Monroe’s manifesto leaks, rumours fly, old routines crumble, and fear spreads. Kate Wright puts the town’s newspaper up for sale, Cecilia Parish fans town wide panic, and Mayor Lyle clings to fading stability. Friendships fracture, secrets surface, and the town must reckon with what matters most—its past, its people, its future.

Billy Slim’s love was selling, his wanderlust satiated with the life of a travelling salesman. For him, the ‘cold call’ was an adrenalin high. While on the road, Billy meets Alfie Monroe a fellow sales person and Billy pitches him on a ‘winning product’. A year’s long friendship began that lasted until Billy’s sudden passing. It is at Billy’s wake, with his friend there to honour him, that a secret relationship Billy had was made known. In attendance, Francine shares her grief with Pastor Gloria and together with Alfie they confront the thoughts and questions of re-envisioning the world without Billy..
