Co-managed by Ronan Keating, this is the story of the boy band of the moment. It tells how they got together, the stuggles and early challenges, their discovery and Ronan's involvement. It includes in-depth interviews with each of the boys and contains anecdotes from their first tour with Boyzone. While this does give a rewarding opportunity to reveal some staggeringly embarrassing childhood photos, what really emerges in the end is of a group of charming, hardworking boys who are relishing their opportunities to "live the dream".
