Battle of Bands

By Paul Milnes

In the early to mid-’80s, Archie and Lucy Saunders live on their farm 
near Netherby, a small town, where 12-year-old Lucy witnesses 
her mother’s death from a tragic horse-riding accident. Concerned 
about his children’s futures, their father relocates them to the 
hustle and bustle of North Melbourne to a private Catholic school. 
But this new life isn’t enough to save Lucy. Forever infuenced 
by her mother’s death, Lucy spirals out of control into the deep, 
dark, twisted underground in Melbourne. Meanwhile, Archie 
reaches for the stars to win the Battle of the Bands competition 
and fulfll his dream to follow in his father’s footsteps as a singer
and entertainer. The competition winner has an opportunity to 
support the biggest band in Australia and the chance for his band
to perform live on Countdown. There's only one thing stopping 
them, an arch-rival band who has the same agenda.
‘To win at any cost.’
