Beschreibung

The Vicar of Wrexhill explores themes of family, loss, and the complex social dynamics within a small village.

The Mowbray family, reeling from the sudden passing of the patriarch, must navigate their grief while contending with the implications of his will, which sets in motion a series of personal and social challenges.
