Set in 1985, teen best friends, Billy and Con are in the final year of school and are going on one last hurrah when things are complicated by the unwelcome addition of Con's older sister Zoe. Seemingly simple friendships become complicated and complex family dynamics are made to withstand unprecedented pressures. The three teenagers go on an epic quest to complete a cult VHS collection, only to get mixed up in a gruesome murder investigation, becoming chief suspects and public enemies.
The creators say: "The series is a deadly, deadpan comedy with a raucous, racy, retro flavour. An 80's throwback that is all about the hysterical world we live in today. Because we all love nostalgia but it's just not what it used to be."
