From small communities in Central Appalachia to wealthy suburbs and once-idyllic farm towns, this story illustrates how a national crisis became so firmly entrenched. At the heart of the narrative is a large corporation, Purdue - whose owners are celebrated for their sponsorship of art galleries and museums - that targeted areas of the country already awash in painkillers and encouraged small town doctors to prescribe OxyContin, a highly addictive drug. A portrait of the devastating opiate crisis in America.
