The Movement

Set in beautiful and idyllic Byron Bay, the story centres around two young women whose fates are entwined through drug smuggling. Lucy Lush Box, a member of a cult known as the Movement, witnesses a drug deal on Tyagarah airstrip late one night. The co-pilot is Natalie Mulligan, an indigenous crop duster, mixed up in bad company. When Natalie goes missing, her family contacts Diana Gianiovellis and Frank Phelan at Legal Aid NSW. In a former life, Frank was deputy chief of staff to Prime Minister, Bill Falco, now he has a desk job and wants an uncomplicated life. However, Frank and Diana agree to represent the Mulligan family in a case against the police for racism and neglect in finding Natalie.
Meanwhile, things are not going smoothly for cult leader Seth, Lord High Alchemist. Unbeknownst to him, the Movement's managers, the Elders of Isis, are using their shipments of spiritual merchandise to make money by looking the other way. The police target the smugglers and arrest Seth while he's stoned and blessing the cartons where the contraband is hidden. Seth promptly throws everyone under the bus. A luscious love story unfolds amidst the mayhem even as the mafia is still tracking Natalie, with deadly consequences.
