Surprisingly, there are still a number of Americans who make moonshine, an illegally produced distilled beverage, mainly in the Appalachian region of the country. This docuseries tells the stories of people who brew their shine, often under the cloak of darkness in woods near their homes, and the authorities who try to keep them honest.

The show also introducers viewers to moonshining legends such as Marvin `Popcorn' Sutton.
