The true story of a 60s Berkeley student who starts smuggling pot hidden in cars, graduates to planes, resorts to wading sacks through the Rio Grande, and ultimately finds himself heading the Colombian end of an operation using a twin-engine cargo plane to drop bales to waiting speedboats off the coast of Florida. At the same time, his Mexican contacts are sending him six-ton loads transported in semis past a bribed customs officer. His next move stuns the smuggling world.
Jenkins’ portrayal of the sixties counterculture picks up where Kerouac left off. The Next Run takes you on a wild ride through crazy times replete with commentary on everything from math to mental illness to the morality and ethics of smuggling. On the way Tom finds lasting bonds, betrayals, love, and a stronger sense of self.
