The Way Back is essentially a love letter to Malta during the 1980s. It’s set in a time distorted version of history spanning the last 40 years and revolves around the disappearance of a boy’s mother. Following her disappearance, the boy and his friends are drawn into an extraordinary mystery, involving a top secret government experiment, a well-trained hitman who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, and an ever-ticking clock, counting down to them losing the woman forever.
The series is made up of three action-packed episodes, featuring everything and anything you can imagine, including guns, stunts, sparks, chases and enough ice-cream to give anyone diabetes.
