In una mattina stanca a New York, un mal di testa porta Biagio Simonetta nella storica Bigelow Pharmacy. Ma quello che trova va oltre un semplice antidolorifico: un giovane in crisi d’astinenza racconta la propria discesa nell’inferno degli oppiacei, dando il via a un episodio che indaga le radici profonde dell’epidemia di fentanyl negli Stati Uniti. Attraverso le voci di chi ha vissuto l’America degli ultimi anni – da ingegneri della Silicon Valley come Emanuel Mazzilli al giornalista Francesco Costa – si ricostruisce il crollo delle città simbolo del progresso: San Francisco, un tempo capitale dell’innovazione, oggi ridotta a scenografia spettrale tra overdose quotidiane, negozi chiusi e criminalità diffusa. L’episodio mostra come l’America abbia risposto a questa tragedia con una misura tanto semplice quanto disperata: il Narcan. Un episodio che attraversa città, campagne, farmacie e marciapiedi per raccontare il vero volto dell’epidemia americana: una droga che cura il dolore fisico, ma nasce per spegnere quello dell’anima. E che sta trasformando il sogno americano in un lungo, devastante sonno. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
