Smoked

Small town. Big stage. Shocking death.

By the early-1980s, Randy Lanier is a star on the rise with his racing team, Blue Thunder. But amid the booming drug trade in Lanier’s home of South Florida, his growing celebrity hides an equally remarkable double life.

Lanier discovers a dime-bag-sized entrepreneurial streak, then the riches in store for Florida’s daring drug smugglers.

With Lanier’s audacious racing and drug-smuggling careers both coming to a head, how long can he tempt fate, on the track and off it?

The pot bubble bursts in Florida, and for Lanier everything comes crashing down.

Lanier seeks rehabilitation behind bars, while outside, pot goes through its own rebranding.

In late 2014, Lanier becomes a free man and seeks out ways to help others by drawing on his experiences from his old life.
