Ricky Donnell Ross, known publicly as Freeway Rick, builds the largest crack distribution network the city has ever seen, moving an estimated three tons of cocaine through routes that stretch from Los Angeles to the Pacific Northwest. A DEA agent named John Oakley tracks the network for years without a path inside the operation. The question the hunt opens is whether anyone close enough to Ross can be turned before the network outgrows every tool the agency holds. One man with a briefcase and a shared history may be the only door the government can open.\r\n\r\nThis episode was created with artificial intelligence: AI-assisted script and AI-generated (synthetic) voice.","author_name":"Creators Obomedia"}
