Setting: Nashville, Tennessee — the clean, tourist-friendly, historic, family-oriented capital of the South — and Memphis, its gritty urban counterpart, where the state’s drug chaos is openly concentrated. Core Premise: Nashville’s public image is pristine, but beneath that historic charm, the Overmountain Men — historical descendants of Revolutionary-era pioneers — run a state-sanctioned luxury drug empire. They control Tennessee’s drug distribution under the secret protection of the Governor, Attorney General, Mayor, and local law enforcement. Their cover: Amazon-style shipping facilities used as clean-revenue money laundering and disguised drug distribution nodes. Their workers: delivery drivers who carry both real packages and high-end product to elite clientele.
