Set in Toronto’s crime-filled neighbourhood of Prohibition-era Kensington Market against the backdrop of the roaring twenties, the Great Depression, and the biggest race riot in Canadian history, a family of would-be gangsters try to support themselves by running a speakeasy out of their domineering mother’s basement. When a murder is committed and a job goes wrong, the family is suddenly flung into the high-stakes American gangland world of Al Capone and Detroit’s Infamous Purple Gang.
