Story About :
Lawless : In 1931, the Bondurant brothers—Forrest, Howard and Jack—are running a successful moonshine business in Franklin County, in the Virginia Piedmont. Their friend Cricket Pate assists them in their endeavors. They use their gas station as a front for their illegal activities. One day, Jack witnesses mobster Floyd Banner shooting a competitor, and they exchange looks. Jack returns to the station, where Forrest hires Maggie Beauford, a dancer from Chicago, to be their new waitress (for liquor sales). Shortly afterward, the gas station is visited by newly arrived Special Deputy Charley Rakes, on behalf of the Virginia Commonwealth Attorney Mason Wardell. He tells Forrest that he wants a cut of all profit made by the county's bootleggers. Forrest refuses and threatens to kill Rakes if he returns. Forrest later meets with the other bootleggers and convinces them to stand up to Rakes as well, though they eventually give in to the deputy's intimidation.Meanwhile, Jack meets Bertha Minnix, daughter of the local Brethren preacher. He attends their church drunk and makes a fool of himself, causing Bertha's father to forbid her from seeing him, but this makes her more interested in Jack. When he later finds Rakes raiding Cricket's house in search of his distillation equipment, the deputy brutally beats Jack to send a message to his brothers and other bootleggers. Forrest tells Jack that he needs to learn how to fight for himself. Forrest and Howard arrange to meet with potential "clients" from Chicago, but Howard gets drunk with a friend and misses the appointment. When the two mobsters harass Maggie, Forrest and Cricket beat them up. Later, after Cricket leaves, the men return, slash Forrest's throat, and rape Maggie.
