The narrative centres on three young friends from the West Midlands who are unexpectedly signed up for compulsory national service after an encounter with an army General. The story explores how the prospect of leaving civilian life and facing military training tests their friendship and family ties.
As the series unfolds, the characters confront the challenges of national service, with relationships both supporting and complicating their journey. Secrets emerge and the strength of their bond is put to the test, raising questions about whether they can remain united through the experience.
Alexander Hogg, who also stars in the series, has previously appeared in theatre, musical theatre, and film, including Nativity Rocks! and Kit. He began writing more frequently after collaborating with Academy Award-winning actress and writer Rachel Shenton.
