Whiskey Empire

Rocco and Besha DeLuca rise from grinding poverty to feed alcohol to the monsters of 1920s prohibition - Arnold 'The Brain' Rothstein, Joe Masseria, Bugsy Seigal, Dutch Schultz, Lucky Luciano, and the viscious duo of Johnny Torio and Al Capone - along with the many other ruthless American mobsters who fill their pockets with riches while blood stains their hands. But Rocco and Besha are no saints themselves. He's the muscle and she's the brains as they climb over the bodies to become king and queen of the bootleggers and rum-runners and create their Whiskey Empire.

Rising from the grinding poverty of their old Italian neighborhood, Rocco and Besha DeLuca and their growing organization had smuggled several million dollars of alcohol to the prohibition-stricken United States by 1921. Their clients were gangster organizations who were becoming richer and more violent as they fought over the lucrative turf of bootlegging, rum-running and speakeasies across the country. Those same feared gangsters were also lusting after the source of that wealth and willing to snatch it from the cold, dead hands of Rocco and Besha and their two partners, Tony Genovese and Machine-Gun Tommy Giachetti.

The intention of American prohibition in the 1920s was to reduce crime. Instead it led to an era of bootleggers, speakeasies, rum-runners and death on a daily basis as organized mobsters across the country fought for every piece of turf in the lucrative alcohol trade. Rocco and Besha DeLuca rose from poverty to feed alcohol to the organizations of those ruthless gangsters. But there is no honor among vicious, greedy criminals and each day for Rocco and Besha sees death and violence visit their doorstep as these outlaws of crime attack to rip the growing whiskey empire from their cold, dead hands.
