Party Tricks

“Kate Ballard (Asher Keddie) is facing her first election for State Premier. Committed and rigorous, her victory seems assured… until the opposition announces a shock new candidate: David McLeod (Rodger Corser), a popular media identity… and a man Kate had a secret, tumultuous affair with several years ago. To the world at large, David and Kate present as compelling, evenly matched adversaries… But a paranoid Kate fears that their complicated history is a trump card waiting to be played. Told in six parts, building to an election-night finale, this is a cat-and-mouse game, played out on a grand scale.”
