Synopsis:

On a cool, rainy April day in 1932, a delivery of Chicago-stilled beer is set to be made in a remote location near Rhinelander, WI. The Chicago Outfit (Capone's Gang) hires non-members to drive trucks from Chicago to the delivery point. The drivers aren't told what's in their trucks, only where to go. If they're stopped by authorities, they are told to let their truck go and claim no knowledge of what's in it. When they arrive at the delivery point, they leave the truck, take another that is waiting for them, and head home. This operation has been going on for years.

When a loaded truck crashes within a mile of the delivery site, things get complicated. Was it an accident or who's messing the mob's plans?

Play a low-level member of the Outfit or one of the drivers.
