"This segment is the first of the series and chronicles the everyday work world of Sheriff Ronald E. Hewitt in the rural Southern community of Brunswick County, North Carolina. Heading up what used to be a backwards, backwoods department, Hewett strives to maintain order and civility in a region fraught with murder, robbery, and the occasional theft of ceramic lawn ornaments. To accomplish this impossible task, Hewett uses the only tools at his disposal-- God, guns, and the hundreds of blood relatives that populate his jurisdiction"--Container.
