At the 1968 Mexico Olympics, an Australian rowing team wins bronze. It's a moment of glory for four young idealists. Best mates, Golden Boys. The four Amigos.

They and their wives come together for a two-week holiday in paradise. Sure, there's a bit of bad blood between them and a few old scores to se |
