Set in the world of law enforcement, vice, drugs, politics, and organised crime, Scales of Justice is a quasi-documentary comprising three self-contained stories. The first concerns a young probationary constable who finds himself torn between his moral obligations and loyalty. The second follows two drug squad detectives who allow themselves to be compromised to achieve ambition and power. The third story examines a young and ambitious attorney-general who finds himself in conflict with corrupt senior policemen and some major crime bosses.
