According to Variety, the eight-episode series looks into the epicenter of America's struggle with opioid addiction, taking viewers from a distressed Virginia mining community, to the hallways of the DEA, and to the opulence of "one percenter" Big Pharma Manhattan.

Dawson plays Bridget Meyer, described as a tough DEA agent who fights to curtail the use of OxyContin.

Other cast members include Michael Keaton, Peter Sargaard, Kaitlyn Dever, Will Poulter, John Hoogenakker, Phillipa Soo, and Jake McDorman.
