This documentary recounts the 1988 Walsh Street police shootings in Melbourne, one of the most notorious crimes in Australian history. Following a period of extreme volatility between the Armed Robbery Squad and local gangs, a "two-for-one" revenge plot led to the cold-blooded ambush and execution of two young, junior officers. The subsequent investigation was plagued by contaminated crime scenes, shifting testimonies from a teenage informant, and the sensational collapse of a "star witness" who recanted her story on the eve of the trial. Despite the acquittal of the primary suspects, the case remains a permanent scar on the Victoria Police, highlighting a era where the line between law enforcement and the underworld was dangerously blurred.
