In a small Georgia city, the lives of four people are brought together by the opioid crisis. A compassionate firefighter saves the life of a young woman looking for purpose, while the parents of an overdose victim set out to provide the recovery support their son struggled to find. But the challenges are significant – from surviving an overdose to staying in recovery – and plenty of people ask how many times you should revive an addict. "The Next Right Thing" is a moving documentary about a community coming together to support the people who need it most.
