Welcome to Brisbane, Queensland. It's 1970, and Australia's "Sunshine State" is a land of mown lawns, beer and pumpkin scones. But underneath this buttoned-down conservativism, the state is awash with dirty money that runs through a network of corrupt cops. And tonight, the man atop the rubbish heap, Senior Sergeant PAUL 'SQUINTER' O'TOOLE, is driving young crime reporter LAWRENCE RICH to his death. He should never have got in Squinter's battered old Kingswood. He should never have fallen in love with FRANKIE. He should never have come to Brisbane in the first place.
