Two brothers distill illegal alcohol during the 1920s in the cellar of their secluded cabin. They deliver hooch, while drinking their fill, throughout the Illinois countryside. Their wives live in fear as they try to cope with drunken tempers and attempts on their lives. Foul play, deceit and lies affect all who come in contact with the hooch runners as they evade the law. This is a story of survival and revenge during Prohibition.
