In the drought ravaged Australian countryside, brothers Jim and Mick Smith run the struggling town of Prosperity's only funeral home - Smith Bros. They are also running a scam. Recycling their clients' caskets for resale has meant that the funeral game has never been more profitable. But when the local mayor turns up dead after becoming entangled in the corrupt development of a high end, medieval-themed brothel on the edge of town, and the local detective orders his body exhumed, the brothers are on the verge of being exposed. Desperate to cover their tracks, the brothers try to dig the mayor up first.
