Brian Heder
A classic drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the Leonida Keys. Moving product through his boat yard with his third wife Lori, Brian lets Jason live rent-free at one of his properties in exchange for muscle and local shakedowns.
“I hauled so much grass in that plane, I could make the state of Leonida levitate.”
