Redfern 1966. Cheryl, Lulu and Queenie are young and life is glorious, full of hilarity and joy, even if jobs are precarious, the police harass them, and racism seeps into everything. But as they gear up for the biggest night of the year – the Deb Ball – their lives, Redfern, the country are all about to change.
