Overview

The McKinsey family's world-famous (and legal) distillery, Bourbon Sweet Tea, is threatened when an illegal moonshine still explodes deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Government agents swarm the area, eager to implicate Sweet Tea founder Caleb McKinsey, who was a notorious bootlegger before going legit. Finding out he is dying, McKinsey's ready to hand on his legacy. But none of his children are on speaking terms. His daughter Brigit is determined to remake the company against her father's will, while his sons want nothing to do with their abusive father.

When Caleb dangles a lucrative inheritance if all his children return, Brigit and her older brother Mack grudgingly call a truce to find missing brother Kieran. They journey to New York City, where Kieran fled after his girlfriend disappeared. As crimes from Caleb's past promise to destroy Bourbon Sweet Tea, the only way to save their company is for Brigit to convince her brothers to embrace the family legends, and live as outlaws once again.
