When Fran Keating wakes from a nap to find Frank, her husband of 35 years, dead on the living room floor, she has no memory of what happened. Her best friend Loreen, who has spent decades watching Fran walk into doors, isn’t about to call the police. Instead, Loreen, Ronda, a foul-mouthed fixer, and Sheila, a true-crime-obsessed barista, roll Frank up in his mother’s Turkish rug and send him out to sea. Then they have to keep a straight face at the Tuesday night rug-hooking circle, the town’s gossip exchange, while everyone wonders where Frank went. Did Fran kill him, and if she didn’t, who did? The nosy neighbour next door may know more than she’s saying, and Officer Melanie Melon, who’s been to the Keating house half a dozen times to keep the peace, is finally paying attention, though not to Fran. Frank, it turns out, had business of his own. Bad Sisters meets Broadchurch, Keep the Peace is a six-part dark comedy mystery set on Nova Scotia’s South Shore about five women who are done waiting for justice that never comes, and who decide that if no one else will protect them, they’ll protect each other. Created and written by Stephanie Nickerson, based on her stage play.
