In 1996, the Aryan Nations was the most dangerous white supremacist group in the U.S., aiming to carve out a homeland in the northwest through robbery, intimidation, and murder. The FBI struggled to infiltrate the organization due to its extreme paranoia about new members. Enter Dave Hall, a 350-pound former biker with a black belt in martial arts. Though he fit the stereotype of a tough biker, Hall was thoughtful and articulate, seeking a new direction in life. After a minor drug deal arrest, FBI agent Tym Burkey offered him a choice: go to jail or become an informant. Hall chose the latter, leading to an unlikely partnership between him and Burkey. Their unique friendship, built on trust and support, deepened over time as Hall became the right-hand man to the Ohio Aryan Nations leader. As he became more entrenched, Hall suspected a significant terrorist action was being planned, reminiscent of the Oklahoma City bombing. With the threat of discovery and death looming, he struggled with his own beliefs, leading to estrangement from loved ones and severe psychological distress. Ultimately, Hall and Burkey faced a harrowing challenge, highlighting the dangers of homegrown terrorism and the strength of courage and friendship.
