Synopsis

Marietta, Georgia. The mid-1990s. An affluent suburb with rolling hills, manicured lawns, and top-tier schools. An idyllic community brimming with privilege and promise. But behind closed doors, thirty of our close friends fell to drug addiction.

How did so many in our circle die from drug-related deaths? And how the hell did we survive?

In this raw collection of memoirs, five friends recount their battles with addiction, set against the backdrop of America's drug crisis. Witness as we unravel the lies behind our suburban safety net and the reckless habits we embraced. What began as teens chasing highs morphed into a full-blown horror show. We squandered it all.

Now, nearing forty, we're still struggling-but we're here to tell our story. You can bet it was-and is-no easy feat. As any addict knows, true transformation is an inside job. A dormant firecracker still burns within each of us, and it's our job to ensure it doesn't accidentally detonate.

If you're not dead, pick yourself up. The show's not over.
