In the high-stakes world of Australian politics, a charismatic Indigenous woman named Alex Irving (Deborah Mailman) finds herself at the center of attention after a viral video shows her taking down a gunman. Prime Minister Rachel Anderson (Rachel Griffiths) sees an opportunity to boost her own popularity and recruits Alex as a senator. But Alex wants more than just a political stunt - she wants to upend the establishment and seek revenge against those who have wronged her and her community. As she navigates the treacherous landscape of Canberra politics, Alex must confront her own demons and the betrayals of those she trusted. Will she be able to achieve her goals and bring about real change? Or will she become just another pawn in the game of power and corruption?
