The Roaring Twenties
“The land of the free gone wild! The heyday of the hotcha! The shock-crammed days G-men took ten whole years to lick!”
After World War I, Armistice Lloyd Hart goes back to practice law, former saloon keeper George Hally turns to bootlegging, and out-of-work Eddie Bartlett becomes a cab driver. Eddie builds a fleet of cabs through delivery of bootleg liquor and hires Lloyd as his lawyer. George becomes Eddie's partner and the rackets flourish until love and rivalry interfere.
A grim, yet compelling dive into the Prohibition era's underbelly. It feels like a smoky backroom conversation, where ambition curdles into desperation and every deal carries the weight of impending doom. The city's shadows are as much a character as the men who inhabit them.
