A hotshot young police office, Rick Cooper, has been posted to an inner city station, just prior to the staging of the annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.

His appointment is in part a political one, as his superiors seem to know more about Rick's past than even he cares to remember. What no one is quite prepared for however, is for that past to catch up with him. Nor are they prepared for the events that follow.
