"A murder mystery where people and livestock are getting murdered all across Europe. Only one man can stop it - the RCD! With the help of his partner equipotential bonding, they trawl through the regulations and fight against needless bureaucracy. Just wait until the sequel where they find out the RCD is actually a drug addict and keeps tripping out!"
