Set in Newcastle upon Tyne, the series spans three and a half decades from 1964 to 1995, following the lives of four working-class friends: Nicky Hutchinson, Geordie Peacock, Tosker Cox, and Mary Johnson. As they grow from idealistic youths into middle age, their paths diverge through political activism, petty crime, big business, and personal tragedy, all against the backdrop of shifting British politics, social upheaval, and local corruption. Created by Peter Flannery, the narrative is deeply intertwined with real-life historical events and scandals of the era, such as the 1980s miners' strikes, the rise of Thatcherism, and police corruption in the North East. Each episode jumps forward in time, capturing a specific general election year to examine how the characters' personal trajectories mirror the changing face of modern Britain.
