The three Bondurant boys, along with their sultry new hire, command the most lucrative bootlegging operation in Franklin County, Virginia. The locals consider them indestructible. But the law - in the form of a corrupt special deputy - wants a cut of their action, at any cost. When youngest brother Jack gets a taste of power with a deadly gangster the whole business blows sky high. Based on the astonishing true story, the Bondurant brotherhood is the stuff of legend. |
