"Remember what I said, Laura. Stay away from that awful place. It's just not safe." People and place. A deep and timeless connection Since European settlement, disturbing things have happened in the small town of Wallaby Rock. When the bodies of teenage football stars Benny and Jordy Thompson are discovered at the bottom of the local gorge, everyone is shocked. Everyone except 18-year-old Laura Murray. Laura has the gift of second sight. It's a gift she's never wanted and struggles to accept. Laura is drawn to the gorge, ignoring the warnings of her best friend Joanna and her family to stay away. As Laura's dreams grow darker, more disappearances and deaths occur, and Wallaby Rock is front-page news for all the wrong reasons. Bad Country explores the concept of psychogeography. There has always been a strong connection between people and place. But how deeply does our geographical environment shape our emotions and behaviours? Is it possible that evil deeds not only affect victims and their families for generations but can mark the landscape?
