During San Francisco's notorious Barbary Coast era, Bill Nickel earned fearsome notoriety as a master of shanghaing—forcing unsuspecting men aboard outbound ships through cunning and brute force. Operating freely along the waterfront with no written records to betray him, the red-bearded giant becomes one of his own victims when his past finally catches up. This true crime tale follows the rise and reckoning of one of the underworld's most dreaded figures.
