A drama series revolving around South West 101, an inner-city police station and its new breed of detectives — Eddy, Donna, Guido and Cameron — who are all in their twenties. Passionate and ambitious, the Young Lions will have their personal and professional relationships tested by competition and conflict as they cope with coming of age in a profession that deals out experiences far beyond their years. Set against a contemporary backdrop of major crime stories, Young Lions focuses on the private lives of the four detectives, as well as a Department of Public Prosecution lawyer and a young forensic pathologist.
