Another World

Warning: Spoilers
The Bridge has been demolished and acquired by a consortium of native Americans, and shipped to the States.

For one reason and another all of the Magnificent 7 has decided to ship out with it, each has their own personal rationale and motivation.

But a couple of them have more pressing problems than the others, Moxey has more than the old bill on his mind. His activities have left him in deep lumbar with a notorious villain, Mickey Startup who has made him a marked man.

Barry has always been to say the least his own worst enemy and he prefers, to bury his head in the sand metaphorically speaking. Especially when it comes to his wife and business matters, he finds it virtually impossible to see beyond the end of his nose.

Regrettably for all concerned they cannot simply bid their concerns farewell, on leaving England behind them.

If anyone of the blokes imagined that it would be plain sailing when they got to America, then they were sadly mistaken.

The 7 consist of a disparate batch of Englishness, a cross section of England encapsulated in a nutshell. They consist of 3 Geordies, 1 Brummie, I Scouser, 1 Londoner, and 1 from the West Country.

Between them there resides centuries of history cultural and social, far beyond their own existence into the wider country.

Whatever their knowledge of America or of the people they found themselves beside, the lads come to discover something of an altogether different world.

Far more ancient stretching back into possibly pre human history, something intangible to the merely human being.

All any of the 7 hope for is to just be able to get on with the work, that they had traveled across the world to do. But they soon discovered, that it wouldn't be that straightforward.

The Native American tribes proved to be at least as disparate, as those emanating from the other side of the pond.
