Chapter One: Into the Mine
Manage episode 304842820 series 2981631
Steve Kough was a lot of things: an ex-NFL player, model, drug smuggler, art aficionado, Miami’s heart-throb, and a father. His unfiltered and brazen thirst for excitement mixed with a family history of crime was a cocktail for a wild life. On a cocaine drug run to Cuba in 1989, Steve winds up with a Picasso ceramic tile that once belonged to Ernest Hemingway. The piece is apparently meant to go to Pablo Escobar in lieu of cash, but due to political complications in Cuba, Steve gets to keep the piece.
Steve’s son, Stevie now holds the treasured piece that represents all the incarnations of his father. The question is, do we believe the story?
This is a Somethin' Else production in association with Vespucci.
