A drug trafficker arranges a multi-cartel Fentanyl smuggling operation. An architect recovering from an Oxycodone addiction tracks down the truth behind her son’s disappearance. A university professor battles unexpected revelations about his employer, a pharmaceutical company bringing a new “non-addictive” painkiller to market.
Set against the backdrop of the opioid epidemic, their stories collide in this dramatic thriller from writer/director Nicholas Jarecki (“Arbitrage”).
“Crisis” is Jarecki’s follow up to his critically acclaimed breakout hit, “Arbitrage,” the highest-grossing independent film to be released “day and date” in cinema history, which earned a Golden Globe nomination for its star, Richard Gere.
“Crisis” opens in Select Theaters February 26th and on Digital and On-Demand March 5th.
