Monsters of God follows filmmaker Eric Goode — a lifelong reptile enthusiast — as he infiltrates the shadowy global network of exotic animal smuggling. At its center are two rival kingpins whose operation supplied rare species to US zoos, until a betrayal ignited a devastating vendetta. The series traces how extreme obsession for creatures like rare snakes, lizards, and crocodilians fuels a criminal enterprise that spans continents and skirts the Endangered Species Act. Goode uncovers outlaw traffickers, obsessive collectors, and the dogged agents hunting them — revealing how the line between passion and criminality blurs when nature becomes contraband.
