There, they stumble upon a village full of oddball characters and a murder that allegedly took place in their neighbor's house. As a result, the three are determined to poke around the premises for clues and weed out the killer. However, a police detective (Mark Cheng) is weary of the witnesses' testimony that a murder occurred in such a small, quiet town.
