Every small-town has big secrets. Caroline Hurley will get to the bottom of them, if
her past…and her interfering mother don’t trip her up.
SYNOPSIS:
Caroline Hurley, early forties, turned an innate nosiness (she gets if from her mother, but best
not mention that) into a career. In a small rural town, her talents for snooping are often
applied to pretty mucky cases. Literally, and figuratively…she’s lost count of how many cow
tipping raids she’s gone on. She loves her job but, still living in her mother Miriam’s granny
flat, she’s not quite the independent woman she’d like to be. What started as a temporary
arrangement is now in its fourth year – it’s a kind of ‘come for the roast dinners and cheap
rent, stay for the judgement’ type arrangement. Miriam just can’t help inserting herself into
Caroline’s personal and professional life…and it’s grating on Caroline. Big time.
Caroline’s touchiness is not entirely unjustified. In the pilot episode, we learn she was
betrayed by her fiancé, a husband-to-be Miriam LOVED for her, when he ran away with all
their savings to America. He’s now returned to try to bag the heiress to a large farm. Caroline
sees this as her chance not just to prevent her client from marrying the fraudster but to
avenge herself for the past, and with gusto.
She still kind of half blames Miriam for the fiasco. Thing is, Caroline would have liked to be
the one to feck off to America with all the money, not wanting a wedding or a fiancé or a joint
savings account, but her Mother egged her on to ‘settle down now, love, and start your real
life, you’re not getting any younger’.
Still, her job is a great distraction and with her past experiences having made cheats and
fraudsters her personal pet peeve, she’s pretty damn good at it too. There hasn’t been a cow
tipped in Cavan since late 2017...
