New York, 1933: America is in its second decade of Prohibition, and its citizens have never been thirstier.
Lydia Gardiner is the infamous queenpin of a criminal empire. From her penthouse in New York Cityâs ritzy Plaza Hotel, Lydia deals in all the cityâs favorite vicesâillegal liquor, drugs, womenâruling with an iron fist, a cold heart, and a knack for beating her coarse male counterparts at their own game.
Jo Hayes is an impulsive young woman determined to forge a life as an auto mechanic, but instead finds herself drawn into Lydiaâs orbit following a disastrous car accident.
As Lydia takes Jo under her wing, they get pulled into a daring heist that just might bring down the cityâs biggest bootlegger. That is, if they can escape the watchful eye of an up-and-coming NYPD detective with a score to settle. But as the two women flit between shady billiard halls and glitzy soirees, straddling New Yorkâs highest society and seamiest underworld, they will soon learn that nothing is quite what it seemsâand everyone has a hidden agenda.
