The Boys continue the story of the Du Pont dynasty as they evolve from World War I profiteers into architects of the modern age, embedding themselves in everything from General Motors to the chemicals in your very own bloodstream. From leaded gasoline and the coup to overthrow Franklin D. Roosevelt to their role in the Manhattan Project and napalm, the 20th century becomes a Du Pont production. War, coups, forever chemicals - profit at every step, with no accountability.
