Description
The small town of Stanton, Massachusetts, becomes a battleground in the war on drugs as a secret federal sting operation targets the fentanyl trade. Amidst this turmoil, three mothers must put aside their differences and confront their pasts to protect their teenagers from the crossfire. As the opioid crisis deepens, Mimi's daughter sinks further into heroin addiction, while Laura and Angie's sons try to save her, but their efforts only place her at greater risk. The deadly violence threatening the community compels Laura to dig deep within herself for the power to take charge. A fast-paced, multilayered thriller that highlights the high human costs of the drug war, Last Place Called Home is also a story about love and loyalty to family, friends, and place.
