Before he was The Great Gatsby…there was Gatsby’s Rival
A culture clash ignites a deep rivalry in the Roaring Twenties between Jay Gatsby and fisherman-turned-rum-runner Joseph “Foggy Joe” Bucolo as the two men fight to win control over both the illicit liquor trade on Rhode Island’s waters and for the love of a spirited Swamp Yankee’s daughter.
As Gatsby plots to hijack Bucolo’s rum-running enterprise, he underestimates Bucolo’s power and the loyalty of his gang. Fierce in battle and bed, the Swamp Yankees’ primal lifestyle is tempered by an old-fashioned, openly expressed love for camaraderie and belonging. Perfectly spiced with a bawdy, superstitious, and wanton lust for life, the complex relationships of these life-long friends lure Gatsby and Foggy Joe into dangerous territory, where each is visited with a baptism of their souls.
