In the historic 1850's penal system setting, Wild Boys delivers a [gritty] combination of gold, bushrangers, power and corruption. At the heart of the series are four young men, Jack (Macpherson), Dan (Dorman), Conrad (England) and Captain Gunpowder (Field), determined to stay ahead of the troopers or end up at the end of a hangman's noose. Gold, land and power are up for grabs so you can expect guns, knives, fights, gambling, romance, revenge and weapons. The towns and highways are ruled by bushrangers. The guys are sexy, the authority corrupt, and the lead female, Mary is a single mother with a business to run.
