On the eve of Prohibition in 1920, Atlantic City county treasurer Enoch "Nucky" Thompson is looking to cash in. Prohibition may have outlawed alcohol, but in Nucky's world it has opened up highly lucrative opportunities for gangsters and rumrunners looking to provide "liquid gold" for a thirsty nation. In a city defined by notorious backroom politics and vicious power struggles, Nucky battles a relentless federal agent, ambitious underlings, and opportunistic rivals—including Arnold Rothstein, Lucky Luciano, and Al Capone.

La temporada 2 de Boardwalk Empire se estrenó el 25 de septiembre de 2011.

Atlantic City, 1921. Nucky Thompson, najveći moćnik u gradu koji u doba prohibicije doživljava veliki bum, skupo plaća mjesto na vrhu "svjetske igraonice". Izbori 1920. su gotovi, no savezne vlasti protiv Nuckyja pokreću istragu zbog izborne prijevare, dok se njegovi najbliži saveznici dižu na ustanak. Steve Buscemi predvodi glumačku postavu u drugoj sezoni hit serije Carstvo poroka, kronike procvata organiziranog kriminala u prvim godinama prohibicije. Terence Winter (scenarist i izvršni producent HBO-ove serije Obitelj Soprano, dobitnik nagrade Emmy) i oskarovac Martin Scorsese autori su Zlatnim globusom ovjenčane serije koja oslikava život i vrijeme Enocha Thompsona "Nuckyja", cara Atlantic Cityja u doba kad se prohibicija paradoksalno promeće u katalizator procvata organiziranoga kriminala u Americi. U 12 epizoda Carstva poroka 2 radnja se nastavlja nekoliko mjeseci nakon završetka prve sezone. Godina je 1921. i Nucky i njegovi pobočnici - uključujući i mladog veterana I. svjetskog rata Jimmyja Darmodyja kojemu je Nucky kao otac - naizgled su učvrstili moć: uspješno su lažirali izbore i na gradonačelničko mjesto doveli Nuckyjeva čovjeka. No nakon krvava napada Ku-Klux-Klana na ilegalno skladište Bijelka Whitea, Nucky će ustanoviti da mu se vlast nad Atlantic Cityjem klima: savezni će ga agenti uhititi zbog izborne prijevare i isprevrtati mu ured, dok njegovi najbliži suradnici i rod staju na stranu Jimmyjeva oca, vremešnoga komodora Louisa Kaestnera, u pokušaju da ga svrgnu. Gangsteri poput Arnolda Rothsteina, Luckyja Luciana, Meyera Lanskyja i Ala Caponea dotle u prikrajku čekaju pravi trenutak da se domognu što većeg komada Nuckyjeva kolača.
