Trap Line

Breeze is just a fisherman trying to keep his boat. Seeing him get squeezed between the law and the smugglers is stressful. It shows how easily a good man can lose everything.

The Florida Keys feel like a character here. You can almost smell the salt and the diesel. It makes the heat feel heavy and dangerous.

Drug running in the seventies looks so different from today. They used lobster traps and old fishing boats. It felt more like a desperate local trade than a global industry.

Loyalty is a trap in this story. Breeze stays true to his friends even when it ruins him. It made me wonder if honor is worth the price.
