Callan Mulvey, Matt Nable, Maeve Dermody and Susie Porter lead the ensemble cast for Ten's new 2012 six-part drama series Brothers in Arms, which will also feature actors Jeremy Lindsay Taylor and Damian Walshe-Howling.
Based on the book by Lindsay Simpson and Sandra Harvey, Brothers in Arms tells the story of two motorcycle clubs - the Bandidos and the Comancheros - who went to war on September 2, 1984, at a public swap meet.
After a brief but violent battle, seven people had been shot dead and about 40 club members needed treatment.
The series will look at the lead up to the tragic day and how and why such events occurred.
