The Fall of the House of Usher: A Modern Gothic Vision Across Power, Pain, and Profit

At the edge of a decaying old house, a figure grapples with crushing despair as Deputy Chief Prosecutor Auguste Dupin arrives. Waiting inside is his longtime foe and uneasy ally, Roderick Usher, owner of the Fortunato pharmaceutical empire. Dupin has made bringing Usher to justice a lifelong mission. The Usher family, famed for a line of miracle painkillers marketed as non-addictive, allegedly sparked a wave of opioid devastation in the United States, yet justice for decades remained elusive. In a surprising turn, Usher opens up with a candid confession about his life, and Dupin begins to uncover answers to the many questions that have haunted him for years.
