The Sackler’s are one of the richest families in the world and for years they were lauded for their philanthropy, while the source of their fortune remained a mystery. Then it was revealed that they were the developers of OxyContin, the drug at the heart of the opioid crisis that crippled America, and led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands. Spanning three generations, the story of the Sackler family is a portrait of the excesses of America’s second gilded age, and a parable of twenty-first century business.
