| Summary |
Coolum Beach, Queensland. Quiet, friendly, idyllic. A perfectly ordinary Australian coastal town.... Enter Toby Banks (Toby Truslove), recently disgraced city cop who has been transferred to the Coolum Beach Police night duty desk. His office: a derelict caravan on the outskirts of town. His job: to answer the late night phone calls from locals. Known as the Strange Calls, these moments of midnight madness reveal the bizarre truth of the town - a place where people turn into chickens and a mysterious radio jingle can transform you into a lawn mowing zombie. With the help of Gregor (Barry Crocker), Coolum's night security man, Banks wearily and sceptically sets out to investigate. |
