Doug and Keith Abbot, two life-long bachelors with a very close relationship, are heralded as heroes and community role models after Doug saves a young boy's life when he gets electrocuted while climbing a tree. Later, an accident sends Doug and Keith Abbott to hospital. The seriousness of Doug's injuries will require him to be sent to Sydney for regular dialysis. Knowing how close the two brothers are, Terence approaches his Keith about possibly donating one of his kidneys. Keith agrees but a blood test shows that the two are incompatible prompting Keith to reveal that he and Doug are not in fact brothers.
