In Little Stempington, the women don`t kill time - they kill each other, with anything from Glock 9mm machine pistols to potato peelers if necessary. Beneath the charity fundraising and mid-morning aerobic classes lies a secret, super-sexed, super-violent world lead by power-crazed housewives Camilla Diamond (Anna Chancellor - Spooks, Four Weddings And A Funeral) and Barbara Du Prez (Felicity Montagu - I`m Alan Partridge, Nighty Night).
Into this rural battlefield walks innocent Joyce Hazeldine (Amelia Bullmore - I`m Alan Partridge, Coronation Street) and her policeman husband Jeremy (Ralph Ineson - The Office, Coronation Street), itching to find a stress-free life away from the high crime rate of the big city.
As wife of the new local superintendent, Joyce soon becomes an unwilling pawn in the epic power struggle between two rival gangs, and has to learn to swim and shoot or sink and die. Welcome to Little Stempington. Welcome to Suburban Shootout.
