We start off with the story of a 20-year-old named John Huggins. Huggins and his girlfriend were making a fortune selling drugs on the dark web, under the guise of a fake online storefront. They used Bitcoin to receive payments and shipped the drugs discreetly to their customers. However, Huggins' operation came crashing down when one of his customers turned out to be an undercover agent. Huggins was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Next, we hear about the downfall of a 23-year-old named Brian Parker. Parker was running a drug trafficking ring with his girlfriend, using their own apartment as a stash house. They were distributing drugs to college students and making a substantial profit. However, their scheme was uncovered when a fire broke out in their apartment, revealing the drugs and cash. Parker was sentenced to 10 years in prison, while his girlfriend received 4 years.

We then switch gears to the story of a 21-year-old named Jose Medina. Medina was running a drug operation in New York City, using his young age and innocent looks to his advantage. He would dress in preppy clothing and carry a gym bag filled with drugs, blending in with the college crowd. However, Medina's luck ran out when he was caught on camera selling cocaine to an undercover officer. He was sentenced to 7 years in prison.

Finally, we hear about the rise and fall of a 19-year-old named Cameron James Kennedy. Kennedy was the leader of a drug trafficking organization in Ohio, selling drugs to high school and college students. He used social media to connect with buyers and even had a website where students could place orders for drugs. However, Kennedy's operation came to an end when he was caught with $100,000 worth of drugs in his car. He was sentenced to 13 years in prison.

Throughout the episode, we see the dangerous consequences that come with getting involved in the drug trafficking industry, especially at a young age.
