SERIES SYNOPSIS

SERIES SYNOPSIS Tucked away amongst snow-covered mountains is a tiny Australian town with a dark secret, journalist Patrick Abboud hears whispers that it was once home to the world’s only "gay prison”. A prison which specifically incarcerated gay men. His investigation into what happened inside reveals the full story for the first time. This 8-part investigative queer true crime journey takes you from underground nightclubs to hidden sex haunts, to remote parts of New Zealand and England. Patrick finds himself entangled in a police cover up, a case of wrongful conviction and a human experiment that didn’t go to plan. At the centre of it all was a covert government operation to eradicate “the greatest menace to society”: homosexuality.
