I don't think there is one likeable character except the cops in this film. It's about two brothers that use the lack of oversight in Florida to run "pill mills" which were basically fast food restaurants but instead of burgers you get oxycodone and xanax. In the early 2000's I lived in N. C. and had a pill mill in Florida that sent me pain pills every month. It was wide open back then. Thankfully I got out of that life but it really sucked when they Feds cracked down and the pills stopped coming. I "kicked the covers" for a day or two and got over it. I have always been in good shape(I realize I was taxing my liver) so my withdrawals were probably better than most people's. Luckily I didn't do what many did and turn to the street for heroin. Now those people, if they are still alive, have turned to fentanyl. It's great that the people in this film got locked up, but there are criminals that worked for these drug manufacturing companies that need to do TIME. There are some companies that have paid fines, but none of their employees were charged. They knew exactly what was going one. That's about it for the film. It's well-made so if you are interested in the subject enjoy!
