Greek immigrant Gus Boulis was an American success story. He built a popular fast-food chain throughout South Florida before embarking on his ultimate achievement: a fleet of cruises to nowhere that took happy gamblers out to international waters to place their bets. When government pressure forced Boulis to sell his business what followed was a bewildering story that included wire-fraud, shady DC lobbyists, and the mafia. All culminating in the drive by murder of the business tycoon.

Beautiful sunsets, fresh seafood, and a social scene that revolves around the ocean may be the first things you imagine when you thinks of the Florida Keys, but behind that picture postcard lays a seedy criminal underbelly. As a maritime smuggling route to the mainland, it's not uncommon for bails of drugs to wash up on shore and theres always an enterprising local ready to peddle the illegal find for some fast cash. But in the illegal drug trade, disagreements between business partners don’t get settled in courtrooms- they get sorted out with vicious street justice.
