In January 1920, America is preparing for the onset of a federal law prohibiting the sale of alcohol - but in the hedonistic New Jersey beach resort of Atlantic City, politician and gangster Nucky Thompson is gearing up to exploit the ban for his own personal gain. However, he soon finds himself struggling to keep his former protege Jimmy Darmody under control - and must also deal with his unexpected attraction to Margaret Schroeder, a pregnant woman trapped in an abusive marriage. Martin Scorsese directs the pilot episode of the Golden Globe-winning drama, starring Steve Buscemi, Michael Pitt, Kelly Macdonald and Michael Shannon
