In the 1970s, DJ Monty and his brother Paul find themselves stuck between a cop and a hard place - and not for the first time.

Monty gambles everything and moves to Perth, but it's not the break he thought it was. Now he must fight, though not with his fists.

Back in Melbourne, Monty is hailed a 'human rights champion' but his Mum keeps his ego in check and Paul masks his own troubles.

Monty is left to face his greatest challenge and a trip home takes him in a new direction.
