It is the bleak winter of 1956: The East End of London. An icy wind blows across the yard of the St. Barnabas Children's Home. New boy Ronnie Cable is taking a beating, but to his rescue comes Jimmy DuCaine, a boy with a mysterious past. As firm friends Jimmy and Ronnie survive the brutality of the children's home and pass through into a seedy world of coffee bars, rock and roll and crime. But rising above their humble beginnings to form their own construction business, they begin to realise that their struggle has only just begun. For if they are to rebuild their lives and the city they love, they must first destroy their toughest adversary of all: Gangland London. A story of good and evil, of the realisation of dreams and the discovery of true friendship.
