~Series synopsis~
The series follows a group of friends as they grow up in a working class neighborhood in the 80's. They deal with pressures of parents, broken families, gangs, drugs, girls, and school. The only thing they have keeping them together is each other, and the secret world of Dungeons and Dragons which they use as a frequent escape from reality.
The shows concept and ideas were produced by Emmit Besler, and he brought in adolescent 80's power writers S.E. Hinton (Outsiders, Rumble Fish, Tex, etc) along with Frank Bonham (Durango Street) to help him bring it to life. For extra nostalgia purposes lots of 80's newsfootage and pop culture has been sprinkled into the mix.
