About this show

Coolum Beach. Quiet, friendly, idyllic. A perfectly ordinary Australian town... But when the sun goes down, strange things happen in this little slice of paradise. Enter Toby Banks, a young city cop who has recently been transferred to the Coolum night duty desk. His office: a derelict caravan on the outskirts of town. His job: to answer the late night phone calls from locals. It’s a far cry from the exciting police work he’s used to… until he meets Gregor, Coolum’s town cleaner and board game collector. Considered to be a crackpot by locals, Gregor is an authority on all things paranormal … and with Gregor’s help, Banks soon finds himself investigating “The Strange Calls” - bizarre late night phone calls from locals which expose the paranormal mysteries haunting the sleepy town. A place where men turn into chickens, mermaids fall in love with locals and cats return from the grave…
