Description:
It's 2091 and times on Bruce Walker's Wairarapa (New Zealand) farmlet are tough. The sheep need upgrading, the milking robot is bored, the car's paranoid, the sheepdog is run off his paws with union work, the landlord is desperate, and the super-intelligent teenagers are up to God knows what. But when the kids come up with a cunning plan to make the family some extra cash, and two sheep are rustled, a chain of events are set in motion that bring dog terrorists, triads and bikers into bizarre conflict. No doubt about it, she's a pretty strange future for the average bloke to cope with.
A comedy tale colliding genetic engineering, robotics and New Zealand's farming culture and heritage with its changing geopolitical role in the Pacific.
