When Andy Pruden, a mild-mannered bank teller from Ohio, pulls into the tiny outback town of Bidgeegud looking for his long lost father, he’s not expecting to discover that Hugo’s gone missing. Stranger still, the motley bunch of eccentrics that populate the town seem to have no clue where he might be. Engrossed in their own petty lives, they’re reluctant to help a stranger, but Andy needs to find Hugo because he’s most likely run off with $250,000 US dollars – money that belongs to some dangerous people Andy’s got himself mixed up with back in the US. If he doesn’t retrieve the cash, his head’s on the chopping block. The only person on Andy’s side is fellow outsider, Cassie, an annoyingly persistent, high-energy twenty-something who picks Andy up on the highway and decides to stay and help. Together, they investigate the townsfolk – all of whom appear to have both motive for murder and murderous tendencies – piecing together a string of clues that lead directly to Hugo’s killer. Faced with his dad’s murderer, Andy’s life hangs in the balance… until the police arrive and arrest Andy for Hugo’s murder! Now Andy must prove his innocence, find the money and work out what the hell happened to Hugo… all while staying alive.
