The year 2000 marked the beginning of a new millennium and the year Australia opened its arms to the world by hosting the games of the XXVII Olympiad. Behind all the glitz and glamour the underworld swings into gear. Using the Olympic Games as cover, an Australian drug cartel comprising of powerful drug lords and their network of corrupt politicians, police and customs officials arranged a huge shipment of drugs to be distributed along the east coast of Australia. Payment consisted of laundered bank accounts, property and a cargo of live Australian native animals, reptiles and birds.
