Their gang, 'The Fruit Kings', was formed in their early childhood and they were rarely seen in the town without at least two gang members strolling the paths. As they reached their teenage years, the Irish town they grew up in saw a significant change, which would also change their young lives forever.

Ireland was part of the United Kingdom during the First World War. The war period was marked by significant political and social changes, including the rising tide of Irish nationalism.

Many young Irishmen were eager to participate in the war, either out of a sense of duty, adventure, or economic necessity. Recruitment drives were successful in enlisting many young men from Ireland. The four young members of the 'Fruit Kings' had choices to make which would split their loyalties and test their long friendships.

A story of love, hate and sorrow, the political turmoil of young lives is seen through the eyes of four young boys from a small town in Ireland. The story takes us to Belgium and France before concluding in the heroic rise of a nationalistic rising
