Summary
Tonight on Dr. Phil Primetime: A deadly crisis is sweeping across America. Every 9 minutes a loved one is lost in an instant from Fentanyl poisoning.
Families shattered, dreams cut short, and an epidemic that knows no boundaries. Fatal curiosity takes the life a college student, peer pressure pushes a teen to a deadly mistake and negligence, deceit, and disregard led to death of an innocent 4yo. Dr. Phil shares the heartbreaking stories of parents who never saw coming their child's death by Fentanyl poisoning, and who are now turning their grief into action. How can a single pill take a life? And what can be done to stop this silent killer from claiming more victims? Their pain, their fight, and their hope for change.
