In Prohibition-era Newport, Rhode Island, Irish laborer Tom McCardle seizes an unexpected chance to escape poverty by driving a hearse—but the job quickly pulls him into the world of bootlegging. Reinventing himself as “Tom Corbett,” he builds a liquor empire using funeral routes and floating casinos to serve the East Coast elite. As Tom rises in wealth and status, he struggles to reconcile the ghosts of his past, the woman he lost, and the deadly power players determined to destroy him.
Newport is a sweeping crime drama about ambition, identity, and the steep price of chasing the American dream.
