Plot Synopsis

INTERVENTION: THE HEROIN TRIANGLE is an event series that follows addicts and their families suffering at the hands of the national opioid crisis. INTERVENTION usually features stand-alone stories, but this series chronicles the interconnected stories of people living in a cluster of communities within the affluent Atlanta suburbs known as "The Heroin Triangle," highlighting the desperate need for support and help during this national drug emergency. This series focuses on the journey of those plagued by their opioid addictions and their families who are left to pick up the pieces, as well as the city officials who are on the ground fighting as they attempt to intervene and save the lives of those affected as well as help heal the community. Veteran interventionists Candy Finnigan, Ken Seeley, and Donna Chavous partner with interventionist and Georgia native, Heather Hayes, as well as new team member, Michael Gonzales as they face the biggest challenge of their careers and attempt to help these victims of addiction. In the two-hour series opener, Tiffany and Billy, a volatile couple living out of their car, receive a sizable tax return that sets them up to score a large of amount of heroin. Their addiction threatens to destroy the family they're building. As a homeless and gay man, Tracey faces unique challenges as he spends his days hopping busses and hiding out in bathrooms stalls shooting heroin. Zac's a free-spirit but his musical gifts are undermined by his crippling heroin addiction. Interventionist Heather Hayes enlists the help of her colleague Donna Chavous to further investigate the city's handling of the epidemic.

As 90 days in The Heroin Triangle winds down, our interventionists reflect on their time there and share what they've learned about the addicts, their families, and the community.
