Season 3 weaves personal stories to illustrate the fight against the opioid epidemic. Leah Wright works to open the Triangle's first recovery high school. Law enforcement pushes to get those into treatment rather than incarcerate them in New Bern. In Cherokee, NC, experts look to increase resources in rural areas. As a community, they all work together to help those in recovery.
