"Sydney, 1978.
While the beaches teem and the cold beers flow, a clandestine syndicate is planning to overthrow the Australian government.
They've commissioned dodgy businessman Kerry Rich to detonate a bomb at the Opera House on Anzac Day. He's passed the job on to Pierre Farag, a reluctant British sleeper agent dumped in Australia. But Pierre and his wife Zouzou want out — out of Sydney and out of doing other people's dirty jobs.
Meanwhile investigative journalist Liz Lanzoni has got a sniff of the bomb plot and sees the chance to break the story of the decade."
