When Prohibition grips the country in 1920, Atlas May sets his eatery, the Little Daisy Café, as the front for a successful speakeasy called the Lackadaisy. Situated at the mouth of a network of limestone caves, access to the speakeasy from the Café is only granted to those showing a pin in the shape of a Clubs card suit.
With fairly easy access to illegal alcohol and a steady clientèle, business burgeons, and the Lackadaisy becomes a premier establishment.
In 1926, however, Atlas is mysteriously killed, and management of the Little Daisy and the Lackadaisy falls to his widow Mitzi May. Patronage at the Lackadaisy gradually falls off, bringing it to the brink of collapse, with only a handful of its original crew remaining and doing their best to keep the business alive.

- Mitzi May//Twenty - Seven is Atlas' widow and the current owner of the establishment. As its new owner she faces slacking sales, doubts about her ability, and the looming cloud of her husband's murder, for which there are rumors that she may have had involvement in. An unflappable vamp.
- Roark "Rocky" Rickaby//Twenty - Three is the former violinist in Lackadaisy's jazz band and with the speakeasy's decline he has become its premier gin and whisky runner. He has a manic personality which is interrupted only by bouts of surprising insight and also has a propensity for escaping from dangerous situations. It is implied that much of the dangerous work he does for the Lackadaisy is out of sympathy for Mitzi, whom he claims has done a lot for him in the past. He's the cousin of Freckle, whom he sometimes coaxes into assisting him with his activities.
- Ivy Pepper//Twenty - One is Atlas's goddaughter, a university student working the Little Daisy's cash register part-time. An intelligent but volatile young girl, Ivy is aware of the goings-on in the speakeasy below. She seems to have an affectionate relationship with Viktor (who tolerates her more easily than he does others), and is attracted to Freckle. Ivy apparently has invited many boys who have caught her fancy to Lackadaisy.
- Viktor Vasko//Twenty - Nine is an immigrant from Austria-Hungary who speaks with a heavy Slovak accent and wears an eyepatch. He formerly worked as a bootlegger for the speakeasy but has been relegated, by occupational injuries and advancing age (according to Rocky, his knees don't bend), to less physical tasks. He now serves the speakeasy primarily as its bartender, despite his surly and intimidating personality. Used to work with Mordecai. Photographs show that he was probably a World War I soldier.
- Sedgewick "Wick" Sable//Twenty - Eight is a young entrepreneur who made considerable assets off of work in the local mining and quarrying industry. He is a frequent and longstanding Lackadaisy patron, and Mitzi's new love interest. Often uses his position to attract wealthy patrons to the Lackadaisy during business meetings. Has a charming and suave personality, and displays limitless enthusiasm for the prospects of his quarrying venture, leading other businessmen to make sarcastic comments that he has an inordinate fondness for rocks. However, he seems to have some problems in his private life; he works late into the night, he struggles with the thought that he might be an alcoholic, and his relationship with Mitzi can be strained due to the risky nature of her work and the rumors of her involvement in Atlas' death.
- Calvin "Freckle" McMurray//Twenty - Two is the kind, meek and dutiful cousin of Rocky, but perhaps harbors some surprising predispositions. Failing in his bid to become a police officer, apparently due to psychological and emotional problems, Freckle (sometimes not entirely willingly) assists Rocky, his cousin and childhood playmate, with carrying out his tasks. He is known to be proficient in the handling of firearms; the "psychological and emotional problems" alluded to earlier can almost certainly be attributed to the mental shift he undergoes (into a psychopathic killer) when he is armed, a phase which has been revealed only recently and one which Freckle is horrified of. He's recently become the target of Ivy's romantic advances. He got the nickname "Freckle" from when he was a baby: much to his dismay, Rocky would always tease Calvin about the single freckle that rested in the crook of a dimple located on his left cheek.
- Serafine Savoy//Twenty - Five is a member of the rival Marigold gang and self-declared Voodoo priestess. She is also the younger sister of Nicodeme. Both she and Nicodeme are from New Orleans, and speaks with a Cajun dialect, with a slurred French accent and endearments such as 'cher'. When they first came to St. Louis, they were working for a minor bootlegging operation and often caused trouble for the native organizations by hijacking consignments coming upriver. The Marigold, however, were so impressed by their abilities that they decided to hire them for themselves. They are ruthless hitmen with a sadistic streak.
- Nicodeme "Nico" Savoy//Thirty is the older brother of Serafine and a Marigold gang member with a nihilistic demeanor. Burly and nonchalant. A former boxer.
- Mordecai Heller//Twenty - Six is a former employee of Lackadaisy from its glory days. He now serves the Marigold gang, often in team with Nico and Serafine. A very neat and precise, and highly sociopathic, contract killer with the air of a certified public accountant. Mordecai appears to be highly inept in his social life, as shown during his interactions with the Savoys and, in flashbacks, Viktor. His name implies that he's Jewish.
- Dorian "Zib" Zibowski//Twenty - Five is the leader of the Lackadaisy jazz band, playing the saxophone. Cynical, but forbearing with Rocky's scattiness.
