In 1899 Perth, a respected public servant's tragic mistake leads to his death from cyanide, mistaken for heart medication. This incident catches the attention of a prisoner in Pentridge gaol, who shares the same name as the deceased. Alarmed by the inquest findings, he reaches out to the coroner with suspicions regarding the circumstances of the death, hinting at deeper corruption within the government. The narrative explores themes of identity, justice, and the consequences of mistaken assumptions in a society rife with secrets.
