Jinx Sister is a story about Laura (Wiseman) who is convinced she is a jinx. People who get close to her have a habit of dying. She thought fleeing to the other side of the world would help. Instead, she developed a serious drink problem. Waking one night in an alley, with no recollection of who she had sex with, Laura decides its time to face up to her past. Laura returns to New Zealand and enters the unfamiliar Polynesian world her sister Marie (Nash) inhabits. Here, money and appearance are not what count.
