The Fall of The House of Usher

The Fall of the House of Usher is set in the present and follows the demise of a pharmaceutical family, seemingly based on the Sacklers of Purdue Pharma. The Ushers, like their real-life counterparts, have developed an opiate, which they have marketed as “non-addictive.” As in real-life, this opiate has caused the addiction and death of millions.
