What Season 1 of Sons of Anarchy

Jax Teller, played by Charlie Hunnam, is the vice president of SAMCRO, the mother chapter of an outlaw motorcycle club operating on the edge of the law in Charming, a fictional town in Northern California. The club makes its living trafficking guns across the American West. The season kicks off when a rival club raids their illegal warehouse, and the brothers respond by taking matters into their own hands. Clay, the club's leader played by Ron Perlman, along with his wife Gemma, played by Katey Sagal, pushes the group toward increasingly illegal business. Jax, with a newborn son, begins to question his brothers' actions. His dilemma is upholding the legacy his father left behind without losing the little family he has left.
