Synopsis
Beneath the placid facade of Canberra, amidst rising tension between China and America, Canberra press gallery journalist Harriet Dunkley (Anna Torv) forces her way closer to the truth, uncovering a secret city of interlocked conspiracies which will threaten her career, her life and endangers the freedom of every Australian.[4]
Secret City : Under the Eagle
The story picks up with Harriet Dunkley (Anna Torv), not long out of prison and unwittingly ensnared in a military and political cover-up with Catriona Bailey’s (Jacki Weaver) fingerprints all over it. Harriet’s search for the truth leads her back into Canberra’s corridors of power, this time working for a maverick Independent MP. What she unearths is a military program so secret even the Prime Minister knows nothing of its existence. Who really is running the country?[5]
