Hatfields & McCoys: White Lightning

History

History

The Hatfields and the McCoys feud may be the most infamous in U.S. history. Bad blood remained for more than a century, but now the clans are trying to put the past behind them. The descendents have an opportunity that could rewrite history -- or keep the hatred going even longer. With moonshine legal in West Virginia, a liquor executive approaches Jim Quick, a maternal descendent of Randall McCoy, to propose a business partnership with the Hatfields to create Hatfield & McCoy moonshine. The partnership would require Quick to work with Mark Hatfield, a scion of Devil Anse Hatfield, and require the families to mutually share secret recipes of their brews. This docuseries follows the families as they work on a project that could net them millions of dollars.
