Rebel History

International criminal empires, gun battles, double agents, sex, treachery, and so much more. Brazen, audacious men risked it all to make their fortunes delivering Canadian booze down the West Coast of America.

Prosper Graignic, top captain for Seattle's rum running kingpin, plays a deadly game of cat & mouse with the U.S. Coastguard. Mother nature has a soft spot for fine barrel aged Canadian whiskey.

A small burgeoning settlement on the waters of the Puget Sound, Seattle takes shape as a rugged and remote paradise. With rapid growth comes danger and the city burns.

Kidnapping, prostitution, drinking, theft, brawling: the young city of Seattle is a wild and dangerous place to be. On the journey to Klondike Gold, miners pour into the city to gear up before heading North to seek their fortune.

The simmering flames of Prohibition begin to flare and the battle for Prohibition rages. Women get the right to vote and they're not so fond of liquor. The black maned lion raises hell on his enemies.

Roy Olmstead, Seattle's youngest police lieutenant, decides to take a chance on a more lucrative endeavor. Quickly becoming the kingpin of Pacific Northwest rum running, his operation traffics hundreds of millions in illicit booze. Smugglers use highly modified boats with powerful engines purchased from the Boeing Company.

Roy Olmstead receives some very uninvited guests as prohibition agents raid his Mount Baker mansion. Wire tappers are snooping on his organization but Roy isn't worried. The Olmstead gang is finally starting to feel the heat and the pressure is on for prohibition agents to make a bust.

Roy Olmstead employs the young boy genius Alfred Hubbard to build him a radio tower. Realizing the boy's technical prowess, he quickly becomes a top member of Olmstead's empire, but his allegiances become murky.

Roy Olmstead and his gang stand trial for their crimes.

Nobody knows where Alfred Hubbard's true allegiances lie. Meanwhile the trials continue and so does the rum running.
