When bootlegger Dade Brady is gunned down in the Appalachian hills, his brother Young Sam Brady takes over the family still—not to continue the tradition, but to smoke out the killer.

The story documents Maione's cold efficiency and sadistic nature as he carries out a series of murders for the mob, including an infamously brutal killing that leaves a victim with dozens of fatal wounds.
