Welcome to Woodstock, New York, a small peaceful community
with its fair share of offbeat characters - a town where nothing ever happens
... or so it seems. When celebrated show business couple and socialites
Sam and Wendy Gayle Schaeffer and their gay personal secretary Buddy Keepman
move from hectic Manhattan to their new home in Woodstock, their new life
of tranquil existence doesn't last very long. Lucille Driver, wife and
mother of three of the most devious men in town, is found hacked to death
by a weed cutter on the Schaeffer's property.
Enter Senior Investigator Tom Wilder - intelligent (Yale graduate),
handsome (you should see him in a towel) and gay (with eyes for Buddy).
The suspect list is long and Tom can rule out no one: the protective lesbian
or her wheelchair-bound lover; the doll-like, but very forceful Vilma Pidgeon;
the yuppie couple who had their lifelong dream go up in smoke; Tom's downstairs
neighbor Liz, an artist who moved to Woodstock to escape her past - and
the list goes on - even Buddy's a suspect. All were victims of the malice
of the Driver family. And as someone continues to knock off the entire
Driver clan, Tom and Buddy must juggle their love life with solving the
case, before the death count gets any higher.
