Show Synopsis

The show tells the “vibrant, true story of the unique, edgy and glamorous island lifestyle of the 1900s.”

The plot follows Sicilian brothers, Salvatore and Rosario Maceo, searching for the American Dream. They arrive in Galveston, the little New York, and secure the only job they know, being barbers. But when Prohibition is passed the brothers quickly moved into bootlegging and controlling liquor distribution—and a world-class entertainment scene—at the island’s famous Balinese Room and across the island.
