Synopsis

His hometown ravaged by the opioid epidemic, West Virginia attorney Paul Farrell Jr. sets out to take on giant pharmaceutical companies to recover enough money to make a lasting impact for recovery efforts in the area. When his legal strategy catches the attention of lawyers across the country, all of the cases get rolled into the biggest civil litigation in U.S. history. Will the case become too big for this small-town lawyer, or will he rise to the occasion and affect change — not just locally but for the entire nation?
