"Set in the tough, unpredictable world of the 1990s US marine corps, when being gay in the military was still illegal, the series follows directionless, closeted Cameron Cope (Heizer) and his best friend Ray McAffey (Liam Oh) as they join a diverse group of recruits. Together, this ensemble navigates the literal and metaphorical landmines of boot camp, forging unlikely bonds and discovering their true selves in an environment designed to push them to their limits."
"With sharp wit and plenty of heart, Boots is about friendship, resilience and finding your place in the world, even when that world seems determined to keep you in line or leave you behind."
"Set to George Michael's 'Freedom '90,' (sung by the San Diego Gay Men's Chorus, which includes military veterans) the trailer shows Cameron go from bullied high-school kid to bullied marine recruit. Along the way his hair is shaved off, he has orders yelled at him and he has to endure gruelling challenges."
