Brilliant but disgraced barrister Alan Armstrong cops a twelve-month supervision order for tax evasion, and finds himself working out of a solicitor’s office above a panel beater in Maroubra. Crushed by tax debts and his disabled son’s mounting care costs, Alan is on the brink of financial ruin but is desperate to return to his former glory. He’s presented with a dangerous dog case. It’s beneath him, but it is this case that will trigger a surprising transformation. What begins as a fight to save a dog ends with Alan arguing habeas corpus for an escaped zoo elephant. This is a story about breaking good.
