The comfortable, placid, middle-class residents of a handsome apartment block in a leafy suburb take on their corrupt local council and an international building developer. The council, led by a cunning mayor in the pocket of the developer, together with his manipulative CEO, secretly grant permission for a 45-storey tower on Windy Point Common, the residents' little green sanctuary but also public land. When the apartment dwellers find out, their outrage and indignation drive them to start a protest movement that eventually galvanises the whole community. Led by elderly aristocrat Willow Davenport, the group's members progressively uncover a series of shocking intrigues and illegal acts, and counter this malfeasance with brilliant tactical and legal moves, including using the media and stock market to their advantage. Can a bunch of ordinary citizens defeat city hall and big money? Will people power win the day?
