Bootlegger Benny Rotolo and bartender Luca Lombardo battle for control of the Galliano Club during Prohibition. Beer is king and trouble is always on tap.
Chased out of Chicago by Al Capone, Benny vows to build his own bootlegging empire in upstate New York, with cash stolen from Lido, New York's biggest manufacturer and an illegal brewery hidden in a cemetery.
Meanwhile, Luca is running the Galliano Club, a social hub for thirsty Italian mill workers. It anchors the Italian immigrant community. The club is all Luca has after losing his wife and child to the Spanish influenza shortly after emigrating to America. Nothing and no one will take it away from him.
He'll even stay silent about a murder behind the club.
Ruth Cross, who rents the apartment upstairs witnessed the murder, but a scandalous past keeps her quiet, too.
Will Benny and Luca finally face each other in the battle to control the club, or will the killer get there first?
