Storyline

Edit
Plot Summary

It deals with small-town life--in this case the town of Rome, Wisconsin; it centers around the Brock family. Jimmy Brock is the town Sheriff and likes to think he's the center of attention. He and his wife Jill, the town doctor, have three children: Kimberly, 18; Matthew, 13; and Zachary,10. A lot happens in this small town from bizarre murders to rape, assault, drunk driving, kidnapping, and spontaneous human combustion. It seems that all the crimes that have occurred in the whole of the United States have at some point happened in Rome, and they handle them in their own quirky ways. Written by dirk-79
