The season is set in Kansas City, Missouri from November 1950 to early 1951, and follows two crime syndicates as they vie for control of the underground.

The episode received mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised the twists, character development and performances, although some questioned if it was too late for the season to recover from previous mistakes.
