Can a pampered layabout master the toughest jobs on the planet and turn himself into a real man?
A self-confessed wimp attempts to transform himself into one of the hardest men on the planet as he takes on some of the toughest and most dangerous jobs in the world. Ashley Hames (35, completely single, slightly useless) is a little boy wrapped in the body of a gangly man. He wants to grow up, the thing is he doesn't know how.

So, to make a man of himself, Ashley sets out on a worldwide journey of self discovery, hanging out with the men and women who do some of the most demanding and life-threatening jobs in the world, and attempts to become one of them.
Each job pushes Ashley mentally, physically and emotionally and he always ends up in some kind of harrowing situation, whether soaked at sea on an Alaskan Crab fishing boat or on the intimidating streets of Bogotá with the Columbian Anti-Narcotics Police Force, where dodging the bullets in the heart of the worlds most notorious drug cartels is just another day in the job.
In 13 terrifying lessons, Ashley is pushed to the extreme limits of human endurance. Can he come of age and prove to everyone that he has the guts and drive necessary to carry out a REAL man's work?
