Sydney 1960. Young ambitious publisher, Rupert Murdoch, receives an invitation from Australia’s most prominent media family, the Packers, for tennis and cocktails.

It is a defining moment for both men - one that would forever change their lives, the future of this country and the face of the world’s media. Over the next 15 years, during a time of political intrigue, raw corporate power and high-rolling luxury, the Murdoch and Packer families collided as they battled fiercely for control of Australia’s newspaper and television industries.
