Description

James Spencer Springette — "Jimmy the Juice" — built a Caribbean cocaine pipeline that quietly ran through a Georgia golf town for over a decade. Then the feds caught up. He escaped a maximum-security Colombian prison wrapped inside a mattress, spent years on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, and was finally caught in a roadside stop outside Caracas. This is the true story of the Island Boys — the rise, the manhunt, the trial, and the organization that outlived its own founder.
