Dans les années 1910, Tom et son meilleur ami Matt sont encore des enfants lorsqu’ils commencent à fréquenter la pègre de leur quartier populaire. Tom est une véritable boule de nerfs, alors que Matt se montre plus calme et rationnel. Lorsqu’arrive la Prohibition, ils délaissent leurs petits vols pour entrer dans le marché noir de l’alcool. Malgré les mises en garde, Tom et son inséparable complice continuent tête baissée leur funeste ascension.
