Filmmaker Troy Reed explores the rise and fall of Washington, D.C. cocaine distributor Rayful Edmund in this documentary tracing the life and career of a man who went from making millions to being incarcerated, but in prison his cocaine business continued to grow.
He was sentenced to 25 years to life in 1989 for running a cocaine empire but that is just the beginning of his story. Upon arriving at Lewisburg penitentiary to serve his life sentence, Rayful was placed in a cell with the third largest Colombian cocaine distributor in the world "Chicy" the son of Griselda Blanco aka the Godmother of Cocaine in Colombia who is the central person in the documentaty Cocaine Cowboys.
The Federal Government had no idea that they had just placed two of the biggest drug dealers in the world in the same prison in the same cell. Rayful and Chicy would go on to smuggle thousands of pounds of cocaine into Washington D.C, until Rayful decided to become a Government informant.
