In the maze-like waterways of Florida's Ten Thousand Islands, a sugar plantation owner named Edgar Watson built an empire on blood and fear. This episode follows the rise and violent fall of Florida's most notorious outlaw—from his mysterious past to his brutal reign at Chatham Bend to his final confrontation on the porch of Smallwood's Store. When an entire community decides enough is enough, frontier justice comes swiftly and without mercy.
