Who is Brian Heder?
Brian is a classic drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the Keys.
He still works out of his boatyard and has others do his dirty work these days.
He lets Jason live rent-free at one of his properties, as long as Jason helps out with local jobs and shows up to Brian and his wife’s get-togethers.
