Laura (Sara Wiseman) thinks 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, distance just makes life harder.

Finding her life unraveling, Laura returns to New Zealand to face her demons. Plunged into the unfamiliar world of South Auckland where money and appearance are not what count, but your connections with other people that make life worth living, Laura finds Love and friendship, precipitates family secrets and discovers that you have to let go of your past in order to embrace your future.

- "Jinx Sister" is a 'growing of age' story, a meditation on how the past affects the present, of sibling rivalry, loss, our need for intimacy and the stories we spin that imprison us if we let them.
