Happy Town is a 2010 American television series about the events of a small town in Minnesota named Haplin. We find Haplin in the midst of a peaceful period of time, until a series of unsolved kidnappings continues. We open the series with Georgia (played by Sarah Gadon) walking home at night and hearing and nearly witnessing a murder. This man was revealed to be a member of their little town who was suspected long ago to be the “Magic Man”. someone whom the town suspects is behind all these kidnappings, with “an ability to make people disappear that bordered on the mystical.” The townsfolk are disturbed by Jerry Friddle’s murder, which revives the memories of the Magic Man. Deputy Tommy Conroy (played by Geoff Stults) is tasked with solving Jerry’s murder, and ends up on the hunt for the Magic Man. Tommy’s wife Rachel Conroy (played by Amy Acker) is taken by the Magic Man, which is confirmed by the presence of dead flowers on the door step of the victim’s family. Rachel is returned to Tommy and the town safe after Tommy and Merritt Greives (played by Sam Neill) start digging into the Magic Man’s past and past victims. Town secrets are rushed to be protected as it seems many of influence in the town seem to know more about the Magic Man and the disappearances than has been made official in public records. We see the series end with Henley Boone (Lauren German) presenting a hammer that was used to murder Tommy’s mother Alice (Dee Wallace) who was previously believed to have passed in an accidental tumble down the stairs, Tommy confronts his father about his mother’s death, and Griff (Sheriff Griffin Conroy, played by M. C. Gainey) approaches Alice and questions her about the missing people who were previously understood to be dead.
