In Sunray, a backwater town on the Murray River, there's little to do but fish or listen to the radio. Two sisters, twenty-year-old Dimity (who works in a Chinese restaurant with few patrons) and perky older sister Vicki-Ann (a hairdresser) have little in their lives to give them an interest, until the local radio station's manager moves in next door. Newly arrived from Brisbane, Ken Sherry is in his mid-40s, self centred, and three-times divorced, but the sisters develop a fierce and competitive crush on him. First Dimity then Vicki-Ann spend the night with their neighbour, one concluding he's her boyfriend and the other considering him her fiancé. That's when Ken's troubles really begin.
