'Can you smell gas?'
Something's brewing in Mullet Head. . .
Everyone feels better now that Gary Sleep and his dreadlocks have left school and scored a job. Everyone except Gary. Plumber's assistant is a long way from movie stuntman.
And Kevin Daly the plumber is not a movie star. A grumpy man-mountain of muscle and hair, Kevin needs an assistant like a gas leak needs a spark.
Together, Gary and Kevin could go up in a big way.
A tragic-comedy about finding heart in yourself in the face of adversity; finding heart in the work you do and the people you meet, and fixing broken hearts. . . with silicone.
Scot Gardner lives with his wife and three feisty offspring in the hills near the Victorian town of Yinnar. He started his working life as an apprentice gardener with the local council, where he learnt the fine art of looking busy, a skill he has refined over many years in many jobs. He likes battery drills, digging holes and kayaking in the ocean.
