At 14, Rick became the youngest FBI informant ever and helped bring down some of Detroit’s biggest drug dealers.  Then the FBI abandoned him, and he became the dealer.Season 1 investigates the disappearance of Andrew, Alexander and Tanner Skelton. The boys’ father, John Skelton, is the main suspect.
