Forming an unlikely partnership with the British-sympathizer John Hancock (Rafe Spall), as well as with other familiar faces like Paul Revere (Michael Raymond-James) and John Adams (Henry Thomas), Adams runs a black market in protest of heavy British duties.

In a media world dominated by post-apocalyptic juggernauts like “The Hunger Games” and “The Walking Dead,” it can be hard for programs which lack star power and blockbuster budgets to catch mass public attention.
