South-east England, 1740s: war and heated politics bring the old
practice of smuggling to new and dangerous heights. Violent gangs
of smugglers terrorise communities and confound government attempts
to stop them. The most famous of these, the Hawkhurst Gang, operate
like a modern drug cartel fuelled by illegal tea. They threaten
witnesses and authorities, brandish weapons in public, and fight
battles in the streets, murdering and kidnapping those who get in
their way. Enter a world filled with gangsters, corrupt
politicians, crooked law enforcement, and vigilantes, brought to
the brink by Britain's most notorious smuggling gang.
