After a regional football final, TK Donovan’s sons find him dead in a hotel bed, his last will stuck in his pocket. This letter contains a tricky clause: the football club will be the sole inheritor of his farm should TK not be buried on his beloved land – and have died there! TK must die once more: on his farm! Director John Reid confidently and quirkily mixes motifs from “Weekend at Bernie’s”, early Hitchcock and the absurd charm of Polanski’s “Two Men and a Wardrobe” with hefty New Zealand humour.
