Niamh thinks that a few months as a personal trainer will get her career back on track, until an unorthodox interview makes her realise - this is no normal gym. PB Gym prides itself on tough, no-bullshit fitness and a loose relationship with scientific fact, led by its 'alpha male' owner Jake. As the gym's social media presence rockets the company towards fitness empire status, Niamh battles with physical and mental burnout, wondering; what are you willing to sacrifice to be the best?

All that Riverside College's five-a-side football team is thinking about is bringing a championship home - that is, until a flat tyre leaves them stranded in the Dutch wilderness. As their teacher abandons them to find help, seven boys try to get through the night without tearing each other - or themselves - apart. Night falls and tensions simmer as these teenagers wonder: what does it really mean to back your boys?
