Summary

Atlantic City, 1920. It is the eve of Prohibition, and county treasurer, Enoch "Nucky" Thompson is looking to cash in. As the undisputed "Boss" of Atlantic City, Nucky leads a double life as a politician and bootlegger. Prohibition may have outlawed alcohol, but in Nucky's world it has opened up highly lucrative opportunities for gangsters and rumrunners looking to provide "liquid gold" for a thirsty nation. In a city defined by notorious backroom politics and vicious power struggles, Nucky must battle with a relentless federal agent, ambitious underlings, and opportunistic rivals--including Arnold Rothstein, Lucky Luciano, and Al Capone.
