Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of crime fans and anyone who loves a strong drama. Plenty of moral grey areas to chew on.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 30 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

Small Town Hero is a dark and comical drama set in an idyllic rural town in England. It follows the story of 'Pep' who becomes a local hero after taking the law into his own hands to prevent a crime. Relishing in his new found glory, Pep joins the neighbourhood watch to further his agenda and fulfil his dream of creating a utopia; a town free of crime and antisocial behaviour. Before long, the extremity of Pep's measures and his aggressive and violent approach to achieving his goals becomes unacceptable to the local community and he is shunned. Desperate to regain his hero status, the rumour of a paedophile gives Pep one last chance to save the day; a manhunt ensues.
