- Mid-September in Arcadia Waters Council and it's only days to the local government elections. The mayor of Arcadia Waters, Col Dunkley, has a few problems. The local newspaper has run a story about his wife leaving him, a new showpiece bus shelter is way behind schedule and a member of staff is threatening to reveal something shocking about his past. Col Dunkley stands with Helen, his press secretary, and asks why she can't get him on the front page of the local paper with a story about his vision for the place. She worries he's starting to look desperate. It's only two days to the council elections and his main rival, Biddy Marchant looks like she might beat him. Things get worse when Col sees that his top priority, a showpiece new bus shelter, is nowhere near finished. And no one can explain why. The general manager, Greg, and the Head of Planning and Building, George, blame Daryl, a corrupt contracts manager who was supposed to have been moved sideways some time ago. Meanwhile, the election night results take Col and his faction back into Council but without a majority. He and Biddy have equal numbers and the position of Mayor (and control of the council) will be decided by a new councillor, the genuinely independent Karin Schumaker. Karin's worries about the bus shelter and whether there are any links to allegations about corruption among Council staff, leads Col to decide that the way to impress Karin is to get rid of Daryl. He makes dealing with corruption a top priority. However, Daryl is difficult to move. He seems to know things about several Councillors and some of the staff. But more importantly, he seems to know something about Col.
