Son of Oil Baron Unknowingly Joins Cartel

Young Cooper Norris has inadvertently plunged into serious trouble by partnering with cartel kingpin Gallino on a new oil venture. This entanglement creates significant complications for Cooper, as revealed by show co-creator Christian Wallace. The situation escalates when Cooper's father, Tommy, discovers the dangerous association, expressing disbelief and concern over his son's involvement with a cartel figure.

Cooper himself admits he was unaware of Gallino's true identity, driven by a desperate need to make his oil venture work. He now faces the reality of impulsive decisions, acknowledging the importance of thorough research and understanding, lessons Tommy has long tried to impart. Cooper describes his current state as 'free falling,' hoping for a way out of the predicament.

Meanwhile, cartel boss Gallino's move into the oil business is explained by actor Andy Garcia. Gallino, operating in the Fort Worth area, is keenly aware of the financial potential within Texas's Permian Basin oil industry. This strategic expansion into a booming market suggests Gallino's business acumen extends beyond his criminal enterprises, adding another layer to the unfolding drama.
