Jenny suffers the usual stress of modern Aussie life. Juggling a successful career, social commitments with friends and her self-centred husband, John. One Friday night Jenny is pushed to the brink. She’s tired, she’s flustered, and she’s getting more and more upset that John isn’t noticing her efforts. So… while holding onto John’s true love, his 9 Iron, she snaps!
Jenny soon discovers that murder might be relatively easy, but when all of their friends come round for a dinner she thought was cancelled, she finds that disposing of the body may be challenging, but explaining it to their friends… is a nightmare.
