Following a cask of characters that includes Scotch-Irish immigrants, Revolutionary War Heros, blockade-runners, pirates, hard-drinking pioneers, wealthy and vicious gangsters, devil-may-care adventures, and ludicrously incompetent amateurs." From famous cities, Appalachian, Carolina to speakeasies in New York.
