Synopsis
The Cut is the story of Bill Telford, a colourful sporting identity (player/manager/agent), who has fallen on his feet in the past decade as Australian professional sports have boomed. Bill is injured in a bomb attack in Bangkok. His estranged son, Andrew, is reluctantly persuaded by his mother to return to Sydney and run the business until Bill recovers. Andrew uncovers financial disaster and must confront several skeletons in the closet.[http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2008/02/abc1-abc2-redefining-television.html TV Tonight: ABC1 / ABC2: redefining television]
