Synopsis

Michael, a weed dispensary owner in Newport Beach, returned home one evening in 2012, expecting a quiet night.

After enduring brutal treatment, he was left for dead, unaware of his captors' identities. The incident sparked an international manhunt led by a local detective, who sought to track down the criminals behind this bizarre and violent heist.
