Synopsis
editSet in 1991, it centres around Douglas Hardy, a computer genius who is cryogenically frozen by corrupt politicians after being murdered in 1979. Hardy returns to seek his revenge and bring down the now fascist, or more accurately, Authoritarian state government of New South Wales.[2] The ending subverts everything you thought you knew about the Premier, with the protagonist making a surprising choice and ending with the threat of nuclear Armageddon.
