What do you do when you take on the government and they crush you?

Paul 'Noddy' Hill, ex-abalone diver and self-taught scientist has always chosen to question 'the system' and stand up for his principles.

At sixty years of age he is worried that he won't have enough time left to do all the things he wants to achieve. Deep in the forest, in a small campsite, which he calls 'Placebo Park', he formulates his theories on cancer, builds a bush sauna and dreams of the day when he will be recognised.

He has lived under a state of siege from the Parks Victoria authorities for the past two years. But now it's become a game of cat and mouse in which there can only be one survivor.

This is the story of a man living on the edge of society, who is willing to test his ideas by using his life as the ultimate experiment - and to hell with the consequences.
