Set at a time of sexual liberation, protest, disillusion, war and social disruption, Barons captures a unique moment of upheaval and opportunity as a new surfing counterculture and the spirit of enterprise collide.
In 1971, a group of dreamers are searching for their own patch of beach paradise. A desire for escape and the perfect wave holds the promise of adrenaline-fuelled freedom. Two best friends, inspired by their love for the Australian beach, create what will become rival iconic surf brands. Little do they know that their success will tear them – and their world – apart.
When their businesses go mainstream, the young rebels and their friends find themselves pulled deep into a world of corporate politics, confronted by jealousy, homophobia and racial tension. In selling their dream to the world, they create bitter, lasting rivalries.
As the surfing and their business success takes them across the globe, from Australia to Bali, California and beyond – they are forced to make decisions that will change their lives forever.
Whilst the waves swell and crash, so do their passions, their relationships and their morality. What does having all the money and success in the world really mean when it has cost you love, friendship and ultimately destroys your dreams?
