SYNOPSIS Talk is set across three locations around Sydney: a commercial radio broadcast studio; an office of the public radio broadcaster; and the editor’s office of a major newspaper. Yesterday, talkback radio host John Behan shared with his listeners the criminal record of an alleged sex offender, Charles Turner, whose case was being tried. This public revelation meant the trial had to be aborted. Today, as the police come to arrest him for contempt of court, Behan locks himself in his studio and continues to broadcast live. Meanwhile, at the public broadcaster, 38-year veteran journalist Taffy Campbell has his last day in the office. As Behan’s defiance of the police becomes known, Taffy and his junior colleague Danielle Rowesthorne begin following the story.
At the same time, newspaper editor Julie Scott and journalists Max Gardner and David Senridge look into the background of the man accused of the sexual assault, Charles Turner, as well as into his de facto, Candice Brickwell, and her daughter, the alleged victim, Roxannay. Behan continues to broadcast and take calls on air. As more details emerge, some of those listening and following on social media take matters into their own hands. Julie Scott and her colleagues stoke the outrage, while Taffy Campbell and his team do their own investigative work. But as the story gathers an allbut-unstoppable speed, who’ll take stock and pause to unearth the truth?
