Essentially, it's a show about moonshiners in VA, NC, SC, and La. Still plying their trade in the hills and back country. There was actually a few shows, and the first one was centered around the ones in VA...in a little town called Gretna, between Danville and Lynchburg Va. . They were typical rednecks and I think one of them got busted and went to prison for making shine. He had set up a storefront operation as a cover to sell shine out of the back room. There was actually 2 or 3 episodes of the show detailing his plans...and they showed the store from the front street. They weren't the brightest bunch of boys.

The show I see occasionally is a bit more refined and one of the moonshiners has actually gone legit and set up a legal operation. In the last episode, 2 of the shiner's took a batch to Nashville, stashed it in the woods in an old abandoned house and went to see the customer. They pulled into a gated community and went to a really nice house. The owner was Ed King of Lynyrd Skynyrd fame. They were selling the shine in bulk for $500 a gallon. In it's time slot, it's just about the only interesting show on the cable at that time. And yes, Ed agreed to buy the entire lot at that price per gallon. A cool, tax free, $30k deal.




I sure hope he did the bottle cap test! shocked
