"Sons of Anarchy" -- A man in his early 30s struggles to find a balance in his life between being a new dad and his involvement in a motorcycle club.
SOA, aka SAMCRO (Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Redwood Original), is a motorcycle club that operates both illegal and legal businesses in the small town of Charming. They combine gun-running and a garage, plus involvement in porn film. Clay, the president, likes it old school and violent; while Jax, his stepson and the club's VP, has thoughts about changing the way things are, based on his dead father's journal. Their conflict has effects on both the club and their personal relationships.

On February 3, 2012, Sons of Anarchy was renewed for two additional seasons, a fifth and a sixth. Those involved in the production of the series imply that a seventh and final season is creator Kurt Sutter's plan. http://www.deadline.com/2012/02/sons-of-anarchy-creator-kurt-sutter-inks-overall-deal-show-renewed-for-6th-season/
