In the early to mid-’80s, Archie and Lucy Saunders live on their farm  near Netherby, a small town, where 12-year-old Lucy witnesses  her mother’s death from a tragic horse-riding accident. Concerned  about his children’s futures, their father relocates them to the  hustle and bustle of North Melbourne to a private Catholic school.  But this new life isn’t enough to save Lucy. Forever infuenced  by her mother’s death, Lucy spirals out of control into the deep,  dark, twisted underground in Melbourne. Meanwhile, Archie  reaches for the stars to win the Battle of the Bands competition  and fulfll his dream to follow in his father’s footsteps as a singer and entertainer. The competition winner has an opportunity to  support the biggest band in Australia and the chance for his band to perform live on Countdown. There's only one thing stopping  them, an arch-rival band who has the same agenda. ‘To win at any cost.’
