The Deuce

Twin brothers Vincent and Frankie navigate their way through the rough-and-tumble world of 1971 Times Square. Vincent crosses paths hookers Candy and Ashley, streetwalkers Darlene and Lori, and smooth-talking pimps C.C., Larry, and Rodney.

Vincent contemplates a tempting offer from mob capo Rudy Pipilo. Bobby eyes Vincent's new connections as a way to better his own lot. C.C. shows Lori the advantages of having a pimp. Larry is unsettled by Darlene's interest in literature.

The appearance of an unexpected partner surprises Vincent; Rudy buys into a rival's plan to reconfigure the Deuce; Candy considers entering the filmmaking business; Abby languishes in her new job; Darlene works overtime to compensate Larry.

Rudy dangles a lucrative offer in front of Vincent. Longo uses strong-arm tactics to restore order among Bobby's unhappy construction workers. Candy attracts unwanted attention and is intrigued by a legitimate suitor.

Looking for a way out of his construction gig, Bobby tries to change Vincent's mind about Rudy's offer. Darlene returns from a trip home with a new girl, disappointing Abby.

An end-of-the-year crackdown by police in and around The Deuce sparks Vincent and Bobby. Candy tries to persuade Harvey, her adult-film director, that she can do more than act.
