Chapter One | Mad Dogs

This season, we will unravel the captivating story of four vastly different individuals and how they all came together to embark on a cross-country crime spree marked by violence and tragedy.

In our inaugural episode, we explore the vast expanse of the American landscape, where ribbons of asphalt traverse the American heartland, as we immerse ourselves in the story of the United States Interstate Highway System. Born out of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, this network of interconnected veins was envisioned to propel the nation into a new era of economic growth and national defense.

But as the first stretches of asphalt were laid in the late 1950s, the highways became more than just conduits of transportation; they became the lifeblood of a changing America. Over 46,000 miles of sleek, blue, and red-shielded arteries cut through the heartland, connecting cities and towns, bringing promises of progress and prosperity. Yet, as we delve into the annals of this colossal engineering marvel, a darker narrative emerges. Whispers of unintended consequences murmur through the small towns that line the highways. 

The same accessibility that promised interconnectedness and convenience has also opened the door to a new breed of murder & terror, unleashing a tidal wave of blood to spill upon the Heartland.
