The story

In Rillow Valley, Tennessee, Lucas "Luke" Doolin works in the family moonshine business, running illegal liquor his father distills to clandestine distribution points throughout the South in his hot rod. However, Lucas has more problems than evading government "revenuers". Both a hothead and a fatalist, he is concerned that his teen-aged younger brother Robin, who is also his mechanic, will be tempted into following in his footsteps.
