Out of Bounds

A mother who's putting the hard word on her to get married, and a gene pool that's ankle deep at best? Will six months in the city be long enough to find a husband who's not related before the ceremony?Out from under their mother's watchful eye, Janey and her sister Maria are making the most of everything late-seventies Melbourne has to offer. And with Maria's Catholicism being mainly for show, there's no one to put the brakes on the lifestyle their mother had hoped to forestall when she'd sent the younger girl along as a chaperone of sorts.With the gene pool in their small Victorian country town shallow enough your knees are definitely staying dry, neither wants to waste a minute of their six months in the city. They're on a mission to find husbands who are at least twice-removed relations. If this means a few of their mother's rules need to be bent, then so be it.Shame then it's them helping a friend that has everything blowing up in their faces, throwing their mission into jeopardy and proving beyond doubt you can say as many hail Marys as you like and it won't make a blind bit of difference to a bad boy cop who's on a mission of his own.
