LOGLINE:
Set back in the 80s, the tough macho world of a North Sea oil rig is thrown into chaos by the arrival of a hard as nails WOMAN!
Fought with equal venom, a fierce battle-of-the-sexes rages until shocking news of one of the men's children falling critically ill brings an abrupt ceasefire.
Now, can they agree to pull together in a crackpot scheme of forming a dance troop, to enter a talent contest and win prize money for vital medical treatment?
Performing to the biggest hits of the era, what their dad-dancing routines lack in talent is made up for by the true-grit spirit of the roughneck.
