On the 14th of June 1893 European prospectors discovered 'The Golden Mile' on what was the traditional lands of the local Indigenous people. In little over a hundred years a natural landscape has transformed into the industrial hellscape of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. As the incumbent Mayor of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, John Bowler, starts his campaign for a second term, independent prospector John 'General Hercules' Katahanas, decides to run against him on a ticket of anti-corruption.
