Moonshiners

- Season 1

(2011)

As the season approaches, moonshiner Tim searches the backwoods of Appalachia for a perfect site to set up his rogue whiskey operation. ABC Agent Jesse Tate is on the hunt for his first big arrest, but runs into a dangerous web of counter-surveillance.

As Moonshiner Tim prepares to run this season's first batch of 'shine, he is feeling paranoid that ABC Agents are waiting around every corner. Meanwhile, in his effort to bust a still site, Special Agent Jesse puts new tactics into practice.

Equipment failure and an intruder threaten Moonshiner Tim and his partner Tickle's first run of moonshine. Law enforcement agent Jesse Tate busts a nip joint. Moonshining legend Popcorn Sutton runs some 'shine the old-fashioned way.

Moonshiner Tim and his partner Tickle soup up Tim's hot rod when they are forced into a daring, daytime bootlegging run. Meanwhile, a hurricane threatens the still site. Then, a new bootlegging biker legend sets out on an 800 mile run.

With the leaves falling, Moonshiner Tim makes a risky move and adds a second pot to the still site to double his profits. Tickle has a bad accident - and Agent Jesse prepares for the mother lode of all busts.

In this season finale, one moonshiner will come to an untimely end. Tim and Tickle risk it all, running Â'shine day and night, making more money than Tim's ever made. Agent Jesse makes his biggest move of the season when he ambushes an active still site.

It's the dead of winter in Appalachia, and moonshine season is months away. Moonshiner Tim and his partner Tickle are planning a daring 100-mile bootleg run capped with a risky midday moonshine transfer - something Tim rarely does, but he needs the cash.
