This story starts on an unusually cold morning in the middle of March. Television personality Scott Cam awoke to the sound of his alarm clock blasting the 'Blue Heelers' theme song. The jaunty sounds of the guitars jostled him from his dream land and into the world of reality — he was ready for another action-filled day with the Backyard Blitz crew. He rubbed his eyes, struggling to recall the dream in which he was just taken from. He wondered why he had the vision of a clown having a breakdown. He recalled it being a rather odd dream. Noting that he had one hour to be at the location of the day, he quickly dismissed his bizarre thoughts and got himself up and ready to go. This day saw him in the sunny city of Brisbane. His job as a tradie on a popular Australian television show allowed him to travel the country and meet the often colorful individuals that populated the great Australian landscape. He briefly looked over his notes and surmised that today's shoot was at the home of the Sutton family of north Brisbane. He glanced over these details without an inkling of the danger that was to come.
Meanwhile, Adam Sutton was still dozing after a late night at his local establishment The Tav the previous evening. He knew that Backyard Blitz would be shooting at his house the following day, however he decided that he and his mates had to go drinking and possibly fighting. His mother loudly knocked on his door, reminding him that the Blitz crew would be arriving at any moment. Sutton opened his eyes wearily and responded to his mother 'Fuckin' hell mum, I know that Scott Cam fag and his group of fuckin' tradie arseholes are coming. I had a fuckin' late night and I need me fuckin' sleep!'. His mother rolled her eyes and wandered away from the door. She was aware that her son may cause problems with the television shoot — he was a troublesome child from an early age. He indulged in heavy drinking, scuffles with fellow bar patrons, and unnecessary swearing on a regular basis. While she knew about these habits, she still decided to allow the Backyard Blitz team to enter her house. Over the last ten years her family's backyard had slowly fallen into disrepair. Weeds grew freely, holes peppered the once fresh lawn and tire skids covered large amounts due to her son and his friends' actions the previous evening. She knew that the only person that could return her backyard to its former glory was Scott Cam. She was apprehensive, but excited about the prospect of being on television. A day of backyard renovation with her favorite television personality. What could go wrong?
