Totally flustered, he turns to the man who always gets him out of jams - Deano.
Deano is rather more obsessive than Nige and sees their friendship as the cornerstone of his life, and he will do absolutely anything to maintain it.
Some may even say there is a large touch of psychopath about him.
When Deano steps in to help Nige solve his backpacker problem, he decides a trip to the Caitlins is the answer - there they can dispose of the body and bury the problem forever.
What complicates matters is Nige's new flatmate - Gav (Maaka Pohatu) - may know a little too much.
Deano wants Gav to join them so he can kill two birds with one stone, literally.
The boys' adventures in the Caitlins feature many funny moments, but with a distinctly dark tone to them.
When Deano sinks to his lowest depths and the blood and body parts start flying, it's hard to keep your eyes on the screen.
What we're left with is a very good New Zealand comedy set in a spectacular part of the world.
