You won't be counting sheep during "The Sheep Detectives."

Adapted from the 2005 Leonie Swann novel "Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Story," the film follows a flock of sheep belonging to secluded shepherd George Hardy (Hugh Jackman), who reads them murder mysteries before bedtime, not realizing that the sheep have been able to understand everything he's been saying.

Unfortunately for George, he becomes the victim of his murder mystery, and his sheep hope to crack the case.
