Devil’s Playground

Set in 1988, 35 years after the events of Fred Schepisi’s iconic film, “The Devil’s Playground,” the story follows Tom Allen, now in his 40s and recently bereaved. As a respected psychiatrist in Sydney and a father of two, Tom is also a devout Catholic. He is approached by the Bishop of Sydney to serve as a counselor for priests. Through these counseling sessions, Tom stumbles upon a scandal and finds himself entangled in the Church’s efforts to conceal it. His pursuit of justice will test his limits and expose him to a level of Church power and corruption he never anticipated.
