Summary The employees of the BHP steelworks in Newcastle are bracing themselves for Australia's largest industrial shutdown. Many have spent their entire working lives at the plant. With one month to go, they're struggling to come to terms with an uncertain future. Peter is angry - he's lost his marriage as well as his job. Jack is on an emotional rollercoaster as he faces the challenge of setting up his own business. And workshop manager Aubrey, once a militant unionist, is worried about what will happen to the men he calls 'his boys'. Meanwhile, the company's spindoctor is selling the closure as a 'feel good' story. This is the end of an era. Life in Steel City will never be the same
