Telly Hankton led a Central City, New Orleans drug organization federal prosecutors say concealed over $43 million and was tied to multiple murders over nearly two decades. This documentary covers the RICO case built against him, the witnesses connected to the trial, and a 2006 murder case prosecutors have since suggested may involve a different perpetrator than the man originally convicted.
