## Resource

After a robbery spree in October and November of 1985, Michael Platt and Bill Matix go dark until January of 1986. They return to their favorite territory in South Miami, but they run into trouble when a witness provides crucial help to the police. Platt and Matix escalate their violence, which leads to their first big mistake. FBI investigators make progress, but they still need a key piece of information in order to crack the case.
