SMOKE & BADGES:

In the backwoods of California’s enigmatic Emerald Triangle, it’s not just the towering redwoods and the allure of the perfect high that cast long shadows. Here, psychopathic ranch-hands scheme with dirty cops, a clueless DA, and a judge as twisted as the region’s winding roads to seize it all. But one man—a retired NYPD detective—had the guts to stand his ground.

Join us as we navigate the dark, tangled web of police corruption and cold-blooded murder. "Smoke & Badges" takes you into the heart of this surreal, true-crime saga, where power and deceit collide, and the relentless pursuit of justice burns bright. Dive deep, if you dare.

“Coming from the concrete jungle of New York, the vast, open spaces of California were like a breath of fresh air. I could see the potential in every acre, the promise of a prosperous future.” - Joe Nieves
