Redline County

Synopsis

There are eleven ways out of Redline County and nine of them are not on a map, because Boyd Teague and four other men put them there between 1968 and 1974 with a bulldozer and no permission whatsoever. Boyd has been legitimate for thirty years. Nineteen trucks, insurance, a Christmas party. In March the county takes delivery of a helicopter, and in April Boyd works out that his grandson has been using the Sutter Gap road, which is the one Boyd would have used, and which has one blind exit that only ever worked at night.

Who this is about

Boyd Teague built the back roads of Redline County running whisky forty years ago, and has spent the thirty years since as a legitimate haulier.

What goes wrong

His grandson is running something else on those same roads, and the sheriff's department has finally been given the money for helicopters.

What's at stake

The boy does not know the roads. Boyd does, and that is the entire problem.

Why it keeps going

Each episode Boyd gives up one more piece of what he knows in order to keep the boy ahead of it.

Takeaway

Everything you were good at will be asked for again by somebody who has no idea what it cost.
