Sydney, 1942: a city in wartime. As nightclubs are raided the sly-grog trade thrives and public toilets become the hunting grounds for corrupt police running an entrapment scheme. As journalists, lawyers and establishment figures close in on this scandal, figures from the city's demi-monde must reckon with how to survive in dangerous times.
