Una commedia sulle tentazioni della vita: lussuria, avidità e potere. La città in questione è Sydney e il colore verde indica avidità e invidia nella divertente satira di David Williamson sulle sue industrie cinematografiche ed editoriali. La storia è incentrata sulla famiglia Rogers, vagamente modellata su quella di Williamson.
