《混乱之子》发生在一个虚构的加州小镇（Charming）上，面对毒品贩子和大型土地开发商的步步紧逼，一家黑白两道皆有名望的非法摩托车俱乐部奋起反抗－－不仅要保护自己，也要保护小镇的安宁。故事的主人公Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam扮演) 正处在激烈的思想冲突中，一方面他深爱自己手下这帮兄弟，另一方面他也希望俱乐部彻底摆脱“非法”的阴影。其他的主要人物包括Jax天生威严的母亲及担任俱乐部主席的继父。
From Kurt Sutter, writer/producer of The Shield, comes Sons of Anarchy, a dark drama set in Charming, a sheltered community watched over by a renegade motorcycle club intent on protecting the town from the newcomers that threaten it. Jackson "Jax" Teller is one member of the brotherhood, who finds his own loyalty to the group tested when he experiences its increasing lawlessness and notoriety, while at the same time adjusting to life as a father. But confusing matters are Jax's mother and stepfather, two ruthless individuals who happen to be the masterminds behind the club.
Sons of Anarchy is broadcast on FX, and produced by FX Productions, Art Linson Productions and Fox 21. The series has been picked up for a full 13-episode first season.
