What is Long Bright River About?
The limited series is an adaptation of Liz Moore’s book of the same name. The series is about a police officer, Michaela, aka Mikey Fitzpatrick, stationed on the streets of Philadelphia, which was hard hit by the opioid crisis.
Mickey was affected by the recent mysterious murders of prostitutes, all killed by strangulation.
Mickey was in a fix when her sister, Kacey, an addict, went missing. She goes on to find clues of these murders and get pushback from her superiors.
