Reimagining Andrew Jackson as an emo rock star, the show follows the young frontiersman from his orphaned childhood through his brutal Indian Wars campaigns to his populist rise to the presidency. Jackson rails against the political establishment and Washington elites while championing the common man, but his methods grow increasingly authoritarian, raising questions about the dark side of populism and American expansionism.
