TV show description:
A dramatic TV series from Australia, the Barons TV show was created by Liz Doran, Michael Lawrence, and John Molloy.
The story is set in the 1970s, a time of sexual liberation, social disruption, protest, and war. In Australia, a group of surfers chases their sun-soaked dreams.
Bill “Trotter” Dwyer (Keenan) and Snapper Webster (O’Toole), two best friends inspired by their love for the Australian beach, create what will become rival iconic surf brands. Little do they know that their success will tear them and their worlds apart.
When their businesses go mainstream, the young rebels and their friends find themselves pulled deep into corporate politics, jealousy, homophobia, and racial tension. They create bitter, lasting rivalries as they sell their dream to the world.
