A cat and mouse game of increasing pressure leads to conflict, paranoia and the rise of a unique generation.
For forty years the Australian Intelligence & Security Organistion (ASIO) hunted spies and subversives. In the process it opened files on students, unionists, Aboriginal activists, and writers and as many as half a million other citizens.
