A piece of land is what it’s all about (4)

I believe the answer is:

plot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a piece of land' is the definition.
(I know that plot is a type of area of land)

'what it's all about' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'plo' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for plot that I've seen before include "Secret plan; graph" , "Vegetable garden - scheme" , "garden area" , "Gunpowder, for one" , "Conspiracy, secret plan" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
