The story

What Is Square Grouper About?

The premise of Square Grouper without spoilers.

During the 1970s and 1980s, South Florida’s waters were the backdrop for a thriving marijuana trade. Unlike later, more dangerous operations, Miami’s pot smugglers were known for their relaxed approach, capitalizing on the region's strategic position to supply the nation's demand. Square Grouper explores three compelling stories of these entrepreneurs, offering a glimpse into the unique and surprisingly laid-back culture that developed around their business.
