This year battling Newport County became the darlings of the football world by dumping former Premiership Champions Leicester out of the FA Cup and then going toe to toe with the world's richest club - Manchester City. The fact that Newport even has a football side however is a minor miracle. Thirty years ago the club was wound up after relegation and bankruptcy had seen them drop out of the league and out of existence and if not for a group of die-hard supporters it would have vanished completely. Instead they spent the next three decades making sure their city had a football team again. This documentary follows the 'Amber Army' over the course of their epic giant killing FA Cup run, while at the same time looking back to the time when the fans had to take on what was left of the club and bring it back from the dead.
