Contemporary Melbourne. Via various modes of surveillance we observe a young woman, Winnie, and her disabled brother, Stevie, caught-up in a web of intrigue involving a bomb plot, inept anarchists, ambitious police and a corrupt politician. The duplicity of Winnie’s partner, Conrad Verloc -political activist and police informant –propels these siblings down a treacherous path, their only succour coming in the aftermath through the actions of police officer Kylie Heat.
