Wolves Among Us

Larry's fraught childhood creates a bottomless appetite for money and risk. As a dental student at Penn, he assembles a team of unlikely accomplices who have their eye on the drug of the future.

While attending the University of Pennsylvania in the early 1970s, Larry Lavin develops a special talent for dealing pot. As his thriving business encounters obstacles, Larry is presented with a risky proposition.

On the surface, there was nothing remarkable about Larry Lavin. He lived in a quiet neighborhood with his wife and family, drove a Volvo, and practiced dentistry in Philadelphia. But, from 1978 to 1984, Dr. Lavin moonlighted as one of the largest cocaine kingpins on the Eastern Seaboard.

Through the voices and perspectives of law enforcement, drug runners, friends, business associates and Larry Lavin himself, Wolves Among Us, Season One, The Larry Lavin Story, tells the story of Lavin’s dual life, his impact on Philadelphia culture in the late 70s and early 80s, and the stunning events that led to an intense manhunt for one of the FBI’s 10 most wanted fugitives.

Wolves Among Us is a presentation and creation of Peabody-nominated C13Originals, a Cadence13 Studio.
