A shocking incident triggers events ending in a violent battle that rocks the town of Port Talbot and changes the Driscoll family’s lives for ever.

Meet the Driscolls, a broken family from Port Talbot. Steelworker Geoff, separated from his wife Dee, is confronted by someone from his past. Their daughter, Thea, is pushed to the limit as her brother Owen battles the world around him. A shocking event spreads panic, and a heated meeting prompts a strike.

Fearing the unrest will spread into England, a lockdown is enforced, causing further anger, ending in a protest march, and ultimately, a violent battle on Station Road.
