Jacqueline and Jilly is a timely series which addresses the opioid crisis. The tagline is ‘Three women, two shattered dreams, one addiction’. While Jacqueline and her husband, Magnus, become distant due to their political careers, their daughter, Jilly turns to her bohemian boyfriend, Paul, for comfort, and after a fall from her horse, develops an addiction to an opioid painkiller.
