Wildside

In the heart of Sydney's tough red light district, a downtown police station and a renegade crisis centre work together to tackle the constant stream of problems, crimes, and triumphs that unfold on the streets.

A vibrant city's streets are filled with problems, crimes, and triumphs, and a downtown police station and crisis centre in the red light district are at the forefront of addressing them. The characters, who work in law enforcement and social care, are deeply invested in the issues that shape today's world, often finding themselves in conflict, but united by their commitment to natural justice.
