Prime Video has released a truly crazy trailer for their upcoming docuseries Cocaine Quarterback, from Mark Wahlberg's production company Unrealistic Ideas. The 3-part doc series is directed by Jody McVeigh-Schultz (Echo Lake, The Murders at Starved Rock, Spy High).
The synopsis for this stranger than fiction series states: “A three-part doc series from Mark Wahlberg's Unrealistic Ideas, Cocaine Quarterback: Signal-Caller for the Cartel tells the cautionary tale of convicted drug trafficker Owen Hanson (nicknamed "O-Dog"), detailing Hanson's rise from modest beginnings, to unexpectedly walking on to powerhouse USC football team, to illegal sports bookmaking, and eventually smuggling cocaine.
“After graduation, with superstar friends making millions in the NFL, the lure of fast money soon becomes too much to resist. Owen parlays his small-time criminality into a risky alliance with a powerful Mexican drug lord, intertwining his quest for wealth with the deadly world of organized crime.
“When his harebrained money laundering scheme loses millions of the cartel's cash, Owen is caught in a web of dangerous debt, absurd criminal mishap, and thrilling FBI investigation. Fueled by the insights of people who lived all sides of the case, including Hanson himself, along with a stylish dramatization, the series details Owen's unbelievable journey from celebrated athlete to cocaine kingpin at the pinnacle of the drug world... with only one direction left to go.”
