- Roderick Usher, the corrupt CEO of Fortunato Pharmaceuticals, has lost all six of his children-heir Frederick, entrepreneur Tamerlane, surgeon Victorine, gaming mogul Napoleon (Leo), PR head Camille, and socialite Prospero (Perry)-in a span of two weeks. He attends the funeral of his oldest three (the last ones to die), accompanied by his sister and Fortunato COO Madeline, his wife Juno, his granddaughter and Frederick's teenage daughter Lenore, and his lawyer Arthur Pym. He sees the ghosts of his dead children and collapses, muttering, "It's time." He invites his nemesis, assistant US Attorney C. Auguste Dupin, to his childhood home to confess his crimes and reveal the reason behind his children's deaths. In 1962, Roderick and Madeline's mother, Eliza, was buried prematurely after appearing to have died of illness, and dug herself out of her grave to kill her abusive employer, Fortunato CEO William Longfellow, their biological father. In the present, a trial begins to hold the Usher family responsible for the deaths of thousands of people who were taking Fortunato's drug Ligadone and for causing the opioid epidemic. Dupin mentions an informant within the family. Roderick recounts a fateful encounter with a mysterious woman named Verna, who foretold a life-altering change for the siblings during New Year's Eve 1979.
