Boardwalk Empire - L'impero del crimine

Atlantic City, 1920. Con l'entrata in vigore del Proibizionismo, Enoch "Nucky" Thompson, in parte boss mafioso e in parte politico corrotto, ordisce un piano per rendere ricco lui e i suoi soci vendendo il liquore divenuto illegale. Nel frattempo, Jimmy Darmody, suo ex-protetto, torna a casa dopo aver combattuto nella Grande Guerra e inizia a frequentare un poco più che ventenne Al Capone.
