On a cold morning in the middle of country Victoria, two brothers arrive at the family home intent on murdering their step-father, Roger. Terry and Jeff’s motive is simple, killing their step-dad will render their dying mother’s plan to change her will in his favour, redundant. The staged suicide has been meticulously planned but there is one thing the boys didn’t take into account, spending an entire day together. Old grudges, different world views and a general troubled history will pit these two brothers against each other and by the end of the day, three people will be dead.' (Screen Australia)

Follow Kenny as he tackles every septic challenge that comes his way, culminating in a pilgrimage to that Mecca of waste management, the International Pumper and Cleaner Expo in Nashville Tennessee - or as Kenny affectionately calls it, "Poo HQ".

One of Australia's roughest diamonds juggles family tensions, fatherhood and sewage with charm, humour and unflinching dignity.'
