Synopsis

When a body turns up drowned in the quiet English village of Ashwyck, reporter Bob Rudgely's attempt to identify the man leads him to discover more about the sleepy village than he ever imagined.

As the case unfolds, Bob's loving relationship with the art teacher Sandie White seems to unravel in almost parallel proportions. It looks as if Sandie will even turn to another man who’s in love with her — golf pro Bill Wells — for consolation as Bob becomes more and more absorbed in the mystery of Ashwyck.
