The narrative follows Paul Wheeler, who rises from a working-class background to become a successful screenwriter in post-World War II Britain. His journey highlights the shifting class dynamics, particularly in education and sport, as he secures a place at Oxford and excels in cricket, which opens doors for him. Balancing a job with MI6 and honing his writing skills, Wheeler capitalizes on the booming television industry of the 1960s and the economic changes of the 1970s and 80s, leading to a prolific career in film and television.
