-
Sydney, 1931. Tom Lawson, a twenty-four year old graduate student in Classics at Sydney University, has witnessed the "most sensational eviction battle Sydney has ever seen." Shocked by the biased account of the riot given by the newspapers, he offers a statement to the police. This leads him into a web of entanglements beyond his experience. His life becomes even more complicated when he meets Dolly Delhunty, who seems much beyond his reach.In the meantime, Tom learns that the nineteen men arrested during the eviction are to be put on trial for riot, but the Crown Prosecutor does not intend using his statement. His brother Doug advises Tom against involvement, saying "We're the little people, the ones who don't count for much. If you upset the powerful they'll turn on you."
