Property Of The Hex

by Nathan Roche

Mark Watson and David Crane were just two twenty-four year old students hoping to finally move out of home. After applying for a rundown house in Sydney they soon find that the place was bordered up for a reason.

Following a series of disturbing events they go ahead with their per-organised house warming celebration. After the night ends in disaster, the two friends must do all they can to clear their names and to avoid a jail sentence – or risk getting thrown into the mental ward.

Former alcoholic lawyer Barry Steinbeck might not be able to help them given their case is against a neighbour who might not actually exist. And they might not have any physical evidence to prove their innocence. None of this matters anyway because Lieutenant Callahan and the rest of the police headquarters won’t believe a word of it.

The clock is ticking and according to their friendly informative neighbour Chuck from down the street their house and the abandoned one next door have been built on sacred land.

And someone or something is not very happy about it.
