As Melbourne celebrates New Year 2101, trainee doorkeeper, Emma, 71, lies sleepless and alone. Her lover Cal is trapped in a prison cell for illegal importation of foodstuffs, forcing a postponement of their planned partnership ceremony.
Emma suspects that Cal’s sister-in-law Sonya is behind his arrest. An early promotion to fully-trained doorkeeper provides her with opportunities to dig deeper into the case, but sinister discoveries soon take precedence when Emma’s scheming superior, Colin Theobald, endorses one brutal assignment after another.
Caught between her desire to work covertly for political transformation while maintaining the façade of a diligent doorkeeper and undertaking “unofficial duties” for Colin Theobald, how long can Emma last in the threatening atmosphere of Melbourne City Productive Citizens Bureau?
