The story here focuses on the real-life Richard Sackler , a scion of the billionaire Sackler family who’s also a senior executive at Purdue Pharma. Uzo Aduba plays Edie Flowers — an investigator for the US Attorney’s office who launches a probe of Purdue Pharma’s new drug, OxyContin. The other key figures include Purdue sales reps Shannon Schaeffer and Britt Hufford , and Glen Kryger , a family man who suffers a terrible injury and needs the relief promised by OxyContin.
“The opioid epidemic for me was this horrible contradictory idea,” Newman said in a promotional interview with Netflix. “These things were killing just as many people and wrecking just as many lives, and the players were just as nefarious. But because it was legal, it was just a healthcare crisis. Unlike drug traffickers, who are never dishonest about who they are and what they do, this group pretends to care about the welfare of human beings. They’re doctors. I think it’s actually the greatest betrayal of public trust in history.
