  Well known current affairs investigator David Chase nick-named 'the axe' from popular segment  
  'Cut to the Chase' has been on the tail of a murderer who was released from jail after killing a  
  man but who claims he was a wolf man at the time. A good old fashioned right-wing 'moral  
  outrage sensationalist' field-operative, Chase doesn't like what he sees happening to the news  
  world around him - especially at his long-standing conservative TV Network, CNT (we missed 'u') , which, under the spinning eye of Veronica Fox, is reverting to myth making, 'false facts' and disinformation.  
  Chase feels his expiration date is closing in as he tries to keep traditional gutsy tabloid antics  
  front and center. He gets his chance to bribe Ted Victor the self-alleged 'wolf man of Wirrawee'  
  in for a live interview... and to show real guts - on the crest of a full moon. Veronica Fox can't  
  help but get her magic wand spinning and tries molding it all for the alt-right, while Chase  
  desperately clings onto his authority as a 'common sense' conservative reporter. The world  
  comes to a standstill as Ted and Chase go face-to-face in an event billed as the next tabloid  
  'Frost versus Nixon' - left activists surround the building and the recipe is set for an outlandish  
  denouement...
