LES NORTON

Les Norton is based on the best selling book series by Robert G. Barrett.

Set in 1985, the series will follow the exploits of Les Norton, a country bloke from outback Queensland.  On the run from a troubled past, he blows into Sydney where he lands a job as a bouncer at a notorious illegal casino in Kings Cross. A classic fish out of water who is desperate to get home, he soon finds himself seduced by the city’s illicit charms and dragged into a web of underground criminality. Chaos and capers naturally ensue. 

It’s an irreverent love letter to Sydney and the decadence of the mid-‘80s, a period of tumultuous social transition, and maps our national obsession with the blurry line between crime and civil life.
