This VICE feature film follows the lives of people in Alberta, Canada, affected by the powerful opioid drug fentanyl.

In response to the change, counterfeit fentanyl disguised as fake OxyContin pills started popping up, proliferated, and ended up sparking a full-on crisis in the country-with Canada's west becoming a major epicenter.
