"Magic City: An American Fantasy" begins by immersing viewers in the club's allure; before the club, there was the man - Michael Barney, a natural hustler, he was so gifted that people started calling him Mr. Magic.

With Mr. Magic in prison, the schemers played, Magic City spiraled into lawlessness as DJs, bartenders, and dancers ran their own side hustles, each believing they were bigger than the club.
