A modern-day morality tale about fame and Australia's obsession with its sporting heroes. It traces Gary Ablett's rise and fall - from superstar athlete, worshipped by thousands of loyal fans, to disgrace and humiliation following drug convictions and the death in his presence of a young woman. Along the way it provides an unprecedented glimpse into the hidden world of professional sport - the agents, the fans and the men who protected Ablett from the realities of life - and from himself.
