Half Moon Investigations is a children's crime/comedy drama television series created by the BBC and based upon the novel of the same name by the author Eoin Colfer. It frames out a schoolboy, Fletcher Moon who spends much of his spare time solving petty crimes around his school, St. Jeromes. He is also known around school as "Half-Moon" due to his size, has qualified as a private eye after taking Internet classes. He graduated top of his class and received a gold plated detective's shield for his effort. Armed with his prized shield, Fletcher takes on various petty crime cases in his school.

Things were going well, until April Devereux hires him to find a lock of celebrity hair that was stolen from her playhouse. While working on the case, Fletcher gets attacked, and then accused of being an arsonist. One thing leads to another, and he finds himself holding up with Red Sharkey -- son of a local gangster and well-known for his family's criminal reputation. Fletcher Moon knows that this still does not solve the mysteries that included his assault.

Meanwhile, he finds that the link between the crimes was the school, Saint Jerome's. Having looked at information held within Saint Jerome's, it turns out that the affected victims were directly and indirectly linked to the school talent show. Now there is only a short period of time to clear their names and to find the guilty party. Will the thief just be one of the usual suspects? Or Will Fletcher will be declared to be a guilty one?
