Southern Gotham

The new Nashville is big, shiny and fun. It's called Nashvegas for a reason. Thousands of tourists, and their money, descend on downtown and Broadway every night.

Big money brings big opportunities, for everyone, but there is a dark side to the party buses, rooftop bars and bachelorette parties. The underbelly of Music City has always been cold, harsh and unforgiving. It's a barren wasteland of heartbreak, crushed dreams and unanswered prayers.

The men of the old Gulf Coast Dixie Mafia have died out. In their place has risen a new type of southern criminal organization and they have made the Athens of the South their home.

Young, sophisticated and savvy. They are entrenched like a malignant tumor, preying on innocent, gullible tourists and their families back home. Kidnapping, ransoms, trafficking, drugs and murder.

'Southern Gotham' is a dark story of the not so pretty world of Country Music USA and one woman's crusade to bring down the new Dixie Mafia.
