Some women just can't take a joke. That's what locals tell the police when a man is found gruesomely murdered at the pub in a tiny outback town. All fingers point to the backpackers working behind the bar - American sorority sisters Beth and Lauren, who skipped town before the body was discovered. Despite all the evidence against them, rookie detective Tara Harrison knows there must be more to this case. But Beth and Lauren have dark secrets of their own - secrets they've sworn to take to the grave.
