Horror story
Whilst investigating the death of a local nurse, a down to earth mechanic called Reginald Plumb uncovers a legend about a supernaturally-cursed, solid torch circulating throughout Australia. As soon as anyone uses the torch, he or she has exactly 20 days left to live.
The doomed few appear to be ordinary people during day to day life, but when photographed, they look skeletal. A marked person feels like a greasy puppy to touch.
Reginald gets hold of the torch, refusing to believe the superstition. A collage of images flash into his mind: a magical rabbit balancing on a tattered nurse, an old newspaper headline about a golfing accident, a hooded donkey ranting about eyes and a drinking well located in a beautiful place.
When Reginald notices his feet have puppy-like properties, he realises that the curse of the solid torch is true and calls in his father, a actor called Warwick Wu, to help.
Warwick examines the torch and willingly submits himself to the curse. He finds that the same visions flash before his eyes. He finds the magical rabbit balancing on a tattered nurse particularly chilling. He joins the queue for a supernatural death.
Reginald and Warwick pursue a quest to uncover the meaning of the visions, starting with a search for the hooded donkey. Will they be able to stop the curse before their time is up?
