Daniel Perrault is a brash and glamorous French entrepreneur who thinks his intelligence, sophistication and style will bring culture to the backwater American countryside known as Wayne County.  He loves the bucolic forested landscape, but as soon as he gets there, he starts making enemies with pretty much everyone in this isolated, suspicious, clannish town. He is found murdered by the side of the road in a sleeping bag for anyone to find, and it seems Perrault has found a killer who is just as brash and bold as he. The job of finding the assailant belongs to sheriff Spike Stryker.
