The Bar has been lowered.
Meet Australian criminal barrister Cleaver Greene (Richard Roxburgh – Sanctum, Moulin Rouge) – reckless, brilliant and self-destructive. To jurors, he is hilarious, to judges an outrage, to a certain brothel owner a legend and to his former cocaine dealer, a tragic loss. While his ex-wife may call him unreliable, his son calls him a mate. Despite his personal hopelessness, Cleaver will do whatever it takes to defend and save life’s truly lost souls, including cannibals, bigamists and abusive loan sharks. He tends to wake up bruised – physically, emotionally and spiritually – but then it’s out into the world, onto the battleground that is Cleaver Greene’s day.
