On the unforgiving streets of 1920s Sydney, the Leach family have nothing but each other. Three children of this broken working-class family find adventure, heartache and trouble as over the decades their lives drift apart…

John finds faith and love at a young age. The inevitable clash between the two leads him into a different kind of brotherhood as war clouds gather.

Maureen dreams of a life ‘just like the movies’ and waits to be swept off her feet. Yet at every crossroad, she makes the wrong choice.

Bob discovers a natural talent with his fists and an instinct for trouble. But with every win he earns the hard way, more enemies rise.

The Leach family scrabble for survival both in Sydney’s seedy underbelly – wrestling with police corruption and blood feuds, in brothels and gambling dens – and on battlefields far away.
