Storyline
Boardwalk Empire is a period drama focusing on Enoch #Nucky# Thompson (based on the historical Enoch L. Johnson), a political figure who rises to prominence and controls Atlantic City, New Jersey, during the Prohibition period of the 1920s and 1930s. Nucky interacts with historical characters in both his personal and political life, including mobsters, politicians, government agents, and the common folk who look up to him. The final season jumps ahead seven years, to 1931, as Prohibition nears its end.
