Never Forget is the story of Ash Sherwood, an aspiring singer-songwriter struggling to make it on the Manchester music scene. Along with Jake Turner - his best friend and brother of Ash's fiancee, Chloe Turner - Ash auditions for a Take That tribute band, desperate to try anything that might elicit his big break.
At the auditions Ash and Jake meet band manager Ron Freeman. Ron, a budding pop Svengali, is searching for a group of willing and amenable lads so desperate for success he can mould them into his very own version of the ultimate boy band: Take That. Never one to dream small when big will do, Ron not only wants to enter the band into a big competition, he also wants his band to be capable of transcending their humble beginnings and "to change the face of pop". However, instead of the fame hungry puppets he wanted, our Svengali soon realises that he has instead recruited five creative and original characters - each committed to the group for their own reasons.
There's Ash, who after years of wasting his talent in dingy bars and clubs is chasing the prize money that might help save his mum's struggling pub and pay for his wedding to Chloe; Jake 'The Face' Turner, a sharp witted, wannabe ladies man hoping the band will get him out of his dead end job; Adrian Banks, an introverted bank manager, hopelessly attempting to win over his adulterous wife; Dirty Harry, a dim yet endearing stripper looking to recover his self respect; and Jose Reize, a wide-eyed and optimistic Spaniard, who has travelled to England to make something of himself - away from the clutches of his overbearing mother.
Having been brought together by Ron with promises of world domination the boys quickly form a genuine bond, practicing long and hard for the competion they hope will launch them towards stardom. However, the arrival of ambitious record executive Annie Borrowman throws those bonds into doubt and tests the loyalty and friendship of all those involved.
Never Forget is a story of dreams, ambition and betrayal: because sometimes you can only really discover who you are by pretending to be someone else.
