Quick Synopsis
The film follows three interconnected stories centered on the opioid crisis. First, a drug trafficker organizes a fentanyl smuggling operation involving multiple cartels across the Canada-U.S. border. Meanwhile, an architect who is recovering from an OxyContin addiction investigates the circumstances surrounding her son's connection to narcotics. At the same time, a university professor uncovers troubling information about the pharmaceutical company funding his research, a powerful drug firm with government ties that is preparing to release a new painkiller claimed to be non-addictive.
