A rival drug dealer, Brandon Wyatt, became jealous of Nate's success, leading to a series of violent escalations, including a botched assassination attempt on Nate.

The story of is a real-life "rise and fall" tale based on the true story of Nate Norman, a teenage high school dropout from Idaho who built a multi-million dollar marijuana smuggling empire. The Origin of the Empire

In the early 2000s, Nate Norman, an overweight and overlooked pizza delivery driver in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, grew tired of his dead-end life.

Nate transformed from a "loser" to a local kingpin, throwing wild parties, buying expensive cars, and living in a mansion.

Nate began scouting the dense woods of the Idaho-Canada border. He discovered that the border was largely unguarded in remote areas, allowing him and his friends to literally hike large hockey bags full of marijuana through the forest and back into Idaho. Scaling the Operation
