Overview

Only politicians get second chances.

8 November, 2016: A young man receives a letter. 12 November, 2016: A young man's phone rings. 27 February 2024. A politician rises in the House of Representatives and drafts his legacy. Elsewhere, a former journalist watches on and knows it's not the whole story.

Deborah, aged out of broadcast television, now hosts the Proper Gander podcast. On the day of Scott Morrison's valedictory, she realises she may be staring at a last chance. She will interview Scott Morrison – she's been paying attention, she knows what he did, she will make sure he doesn't get away with it.

Enter an enigmatic young man with whose help Deborah must find the one question that will define one legacy, and end another.
