"In this episode of Parts Unknown, Bourdain explores the state of Massachusetts, where he spent his early adult life—and where entire communities have been rocked by a deadly heroin epidemic. After reflecting on his beginnings as a dishwasher in the seaside community of Provincetown, Bourdain travels west to Greenfield and speaks with parents, doctors, police, and former drug users who are grappling with the country’s opioid epidemic."
