1981. Ritchie, Roscoe and Colin are young men, leaving home at 18-years-old and heading off to London with hope and ambition. They are also walking straight into a virus that most of the world ignores. Year-by-year and episode-by-episode spanning the decade, their lives change as the mystery of the virus starts as a rumor, then a threat, then a terror – and then something that binds them together in the fight. It’s also the story of their friends, lovers and families – especially Jill, the girl who loves them and helps them by galvanizing them in the battles to come. Together they will endure the horror of the epidemic, the pain of rejection and the prejudices that gay men faced throughout the decade.
There are terrible losses and wonderful friendships, with complex families pushed to the limit and beyond. This is a series that remembers the boys we lost and celebrates those lives that burned so brightly.
