Hailing from suburban Los Angeles, raised by supportive parents,
and educated at a boys-only parochial school, Darryl Henley had it
all. He earned a history degree from UCLA, became a first-team All
American for the Bruins in 1988, and was a rising star as the
starting cornerback for the LA Rams in the early nineties. How
Henley, in the space of three short years, went from golden NFL
role model to federal inmate is one of the most bizarre stories in
the annals of sport-stars-turned-criminal.
The product of eight years of investigative research and over
one hundred interviews, "Intercepted" takes us into Henley's fourth
season in the NFL, when he met Rams cheerleader Tracy Donaho and
bumped into a boyhood friend named Willie McGowan, a onetime
youth-league standout who had since turned to drug trafficking.
Henley, Donaho, and McGowan embark on a scheme to transport cocaine
that lands Henley in federal prison, where he attempts to arrange a
Mafia hit on the sentencing judge and Donaho, who had been the star
witness against Henley at his trial. Detailing how one of the best
and brightest of our professional athletes destroyed himself
through temptation, arrogance, and anger at a justice system that
he felt had failed him, "Intercepted" is also a cautionary tale
about American culture, as disturbing as it is impossible to
ignore.
