Synopsis

The series begins in Fyzabad, Trinidad and Tobago, where Leslie Charles (Billy Ocean) grows up in a close-knit family steeped in music and community. We follow his migration to London as a young boy, grappling with the challenges of assimilation, racial tension, and economic hardship. Despite the odds, his prodigious talent and relentless drive catapulted him to prominence in the 1970s and '80s with hits like Caribbean Queen, Suddenly, and When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going. But fame comes with its own set of struggles. The miniseries explores Billy’s battles with self-doubt, the pressures of stardom, and the industry’s exploitation of artists of color. Through it all, Billy remains grounded by his family, faith, and unyielding passion for music.
