The Boys Are Back is a confessional tale of fatherhood. It follows a witty,
wisecracking, action-oriented sportswriter who, in the wake of his wife's
death, finds himself in a sudden, stultifying state of single parenthood.
Joe Warr throws himself into the only child-rearing philosophy he thinks
has a shot at bringing joy back into their lives: "just says yes." Raising
two boys - a curious six year-old and a rebel teen from a previous marriage
-- in a household devoid of feminine influence, and with a lack of rules,
life becomes exuberant, instinctual, reckless... and on the constant verge
of disaster. The three multi-generational boys of the Warr household,
father and sons alike, must each find their own way, however tenuous, to
grow up.
This story of fatherhood is set in South Australia. When the wife of
sports-writer Joe Warr dies of cancer, he takes on the responsibility of
raising their 6-year-old son, and his teenage son from a previous marriage.
As Joe rejects the counsel of his mother-in-law and other parents, he
develops his own philosophies on parenting. Despite this, he struggles to
keep his family together, while his sons are just as confused as him.
