Political journalist Anita Devlin uncovers a secret plot to overthrow the Gerrard government and becomes the whistle. By doing so threatens her future. Jonathan Wolff, a ruthless political operative, gets results for those who wish to influence government and pay his excessive fee. He will stop at nothing to win, even taking extreme steps where no one is safe from the line of fire. The Mercantiles, a long-established, clandestine group of high-taxpaying business owners have grown frustrated by Prime Minister Andrew Gerrard's failure to meet promises, and decide the nation needs a change of government at the upcoming election. They call upon Wolff to organise the defeat of the prime minister. Anita uncovers the nefarious Wolff strategically manipulating the campaign, and endeavours to expose his influence and manipulation. Realising he cannot win the election his way, Wolff initiates an explosive campaign designed to remove the prime minister by defeating him in his own electorate. He recruits and then exploits an independent candidate by tapping into the communities' latent anxiety over immigration policy. The community is subjected to violent demonstrations, triggering increased racist attacks on the streets. Ironically, the candidate Wolff supports - and manipulates to drive the campaign against the prime minister - is Indian immigrant and university professor, Jaya Rukhmani. With Anita Devlin hot on his trail and unwavering to expose the corruption, Wolff confronts her warning of dire consequences if she progresses with her investigation to expose him. As election day draws near it becomes obvious the result will be on a knife's edge and Wolff forces more anarchy on the streets. The Mercantiles get nervous and withdraw their support, but Wolff threatens them to deliver his money and continues his campaign. Anita remains determined to be the whistle-blower, but does she have the courage it takes to expose Wolff and the Mercantiles? Or will political power overcome the truth in this gripping thriller.
