First debuting on Netflix in 2018, the original documentary follows Rodney Hyden on an island of Puerto Rico. Undercover cops offer to help by taking the map and getting the coke in exchange for half. However, they send Rodney a picture of a hole with a bag in it, implying that cocaine is in the bag. They ask Rodney to come to a parking lot to give him his cut. Next, they arrest him for conspiracy. The film, which includes several re-enactments of the above events, received favorable reviews upon its release.
