Synopsis

The Man Who Got Away tells the true story of British-Australian drug smuggler David McMillan. McMillan came from a privileged background, but chose a life of crime, which put him on Interpol's Top Ten Most Wanted list. The love of his life was also his partner in crime, Clelia Vigano. Together McMillan and Vigano were an unstoppable force, or so they thought.

gollark: Hmm, so I should fork it and then copy-paste in the CCTweaks code for this, good idea.
gollark: CC Tweaks had that but nobody used it, apparently.
gollark: > only externallyRidiculous. PotatOS should be able to flash bare-metal PotatoBIOS if it wants to.
gollark: If there was an `os.flashBIOS` you'd need a way to set that from the disk drive *too* I guess, which is a downside.
gollark: Yes, exactly.
