Sex and Thugs and Rock 'n' Roll

Billy Thorpe is an Australian rock legend, but in 1963 he was a seventeen-year-old singer fresh out of Brisbane, who arrived in Sydney's Kings Cross ready to crack the big time. Through his eyes we see the Cross at a unique moment in its history, and Australia on the threshold of an astonishing new wave of youth culture.

For Billy it's a tantalising and dangerous new world and he soon find his life turned upside-down by an erotic menage a trois and a murder. And as if that's not enough, he joins a group called the Aztecs and within twelve months they have a national No. 1 hit.

Sex and Thugs and Rock 'n' Roll is a rollercoaster ride through this amazing year of Billy's life. Take the trip.
