The First World War took Audette's husband in the fateful year of 1918. With no prospects of her own, she's managed to keep to her modest self by surviving on the land instead of even humoring the thought of returning to her family. A routine hunting excursion to replenish her nearly exhausted food supply proves to be more eventful than she thought when she makes an unexpected friend.

Every Greek tragedy needs an Antigone or a Danaë. Every King Lear needs a Cordelia. Boardwalk Empire positioned itself as both a Greecian tragedy and Shakespearean, and yet forgot that key player who binds everyone together. Not a Boardwalk fan? Don't worry. If you like damaged heroes, the 1920s, Mafia stories, or tales of World War I? Knowledge of the show isn't necessary. Clara Thompson, like everyone around her, is learning to cope in a post-World War I reality. The reality includes Prohibition, which her father (a dirty politician) sees as a chance to consolidate wealth and power. Her pseudo-brother Jimmy is physically back in Atlantic City, but his soul still seems elsewhere. After her father banishes Jimmy to Chicago, Clara chases after him and meets Richard Harrow, a young vet whose war damage isn't confined to his face. Meanwhile, her father's machinations put everyone's lives in danger and contribute to changing familial ties.

Rosalie Castell waded through life determined to keep herself, and the business she inherited, afloat by whatever means necessary. But being a businesswoman in 1924 is no easy feat. With the waters becoming more treacherous the deeper she goes, and shady characters taking a nefarious interest in the business she owns, she is forced to make choices that could have dire consequences. As she grows increasingly more entangled in this dangerous world, a new intake from Atlantic City - a twice wounded war vet with mysterious past and a haunted look in his eye - threatens to shatter the illusion of complacency she built up for herself, exposing the loneliness that had been festering beneath. Survival in this world comes with a price - a price that she isn't willing to pay.
