Boardwalk Empire is set in Atlantic City at the dawn of prohibition,
when the sale of alcohol became illegal throughout the United States.
America in 1920. The Great War is over, Wall Street is about to boom and everything
is for sale, even the World Series. It is a time of change when women are getting
to vote, broadcast radio is introduced and young people rule the world.
On the beach in southern New Jersey sits Atlantic City, a spectacular resort known as
"The World's Playground," a place where rules don't apply. Massive hotels line its famous
Boardwalk, along with night clubs, amusement piers and entertainment to rival Broadway.
For a few dollars, a working man can get away and live like a king, legally or illegally.
The undisputed ruler of Atlantic City is the town's treasurer, Enoch 'Nucky' Thompson,
a political fixer and backroom dealer who is equal parts politician and gangster and
equally comfortable in either role. Because of its strategic location on the seaboard,
the town is a hub of activity for rum-runners, minutes from Philadelphia, hours from
New York City and less than a days drive from Chicago.
And Nucky Thompson takes full advantage.
Along with his brother Elias, the town sheriff, and a crew of ward bosses and local
thugs, Nucky carves out a niche for himself as the man to see for any illegal alcohol.
He is an equal opportunity gangster, doing business with Arnold Rothstein,
Big Jim Colosimo, Lucky Luciano and Al Capone.
As the series begins, Nucky's former protégé and driver Jimmy Darmody returns home
from the Great War, eager to get ahead and reclaim his rightful place in Nucky's
organization. But when Jimmy feels things aren't moving quickly enough, he takes
matters into his own hands, forming a deadly alliance with some associates of
Nucky's that set the Feds, led by agent Nelson Van Alden, on his mentor's tail.
Complicating matters further is Nucky's burgeoning relationship with Margaret
Schroeder, a local woman in an abusive marriage whom he tries to help out.
