A story of action, adventure, and young love is set against the backdrop of a time of great change, as the “peace and love” era of the 1960s gives way to the “freedom revolution” of the 1970s. Sex and drugs and rock and roll? Sure. That and so much more. So much to learn and so fast: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Five teens set adrift in that era experience and absorb everything life throws at them as they traverse that difficult bridge that will take them from mid-teens to young adults. It’s a story today’s teens will find fascinating, and somewhat confronting to think that their parents actually did some of these things. The Fearless Five – Jordie, Jess, Marty, Robbie, and Josh – were about to embark on a life-changing journey. No more little kid stuff; things were getting serious. Set in Tasmania at the end of the swinging sixties, A Journey of Discovery picks up their story as they are about to enter their last year of high school. But it’s outside of school where they gain a real education. The school of life – it’s a great teacher – but unlike school it rarely gives second chances. Stuff up in the real world and the consequences can be brutal. But make the right decisions and the payoff could be huge, as Jordie and Jess through the music they create are about to discover.

'I don't think I can actually remember a time in policing when I didn't want to join the Armed Offenders Squad. My early reasons for joining probably weren't the purest, though – I just thought they looked really cool.' Five Foot and Fearless is the inspiring story of Liz Williams, a police officer and mum of one, who desperately wanted to be part of the Armed Offenders Squad. The brutal selection process would send most people running for cover, but her husband's words spurred her on: 'You know, you could do it if you wanted to.' Liz's story is one of determination and girl power. She struggles with motherhood and childcare just like any other working mum – but in Liz's world, she needs someone to look after her son at 1 a.m. when she's called on to fight crime. A gifted storyteller, Liz entertains with tales of drowning in AOS gear that is too big for her, trying to keep her togs from riding up in the swim trial, and dealing with criminals in bad underwear. But her story has a darker side, as she reveals the harsh realities of the job that an AOS member faces every day. Liz's account of the 2009 Napier siege is especially harrowing. At times laugh-out-loud funny, at other times shocking, Liz's story offers rare insights into one of the most dangerous jobs in the country.

But right before their night show, a member of the Squad loses their phone down an open manhole. When the entire Squad goes down to help retrieve it, they find themselves in 1950s Manhattan.
