Salt Lake City is one of the safest cities in the U.S. behind its idyllic veneer, it's in the grips of a drug epidemic.

After being rocked by a corruption scandal and a budget deficit in the range of $58,000,000, the city's police department's staffing and morale are in bad shape. National Geographic follows an elite team of detectives who are trying to establish some control over the free for all drug market. Using their access to the dealers, users, and gang members at the heart of the problem, the National Geographic Channel gives us a inside look at the drug infested city and those who fight to clean it up.

Washington, DC was once "Crack City" and THE Murder Capitol of the US. But after 9/11, a massive hike in police presence made drugs scarce. Those that did reach the streets were of poor quality. Now, in parts of southeast DC, PCP is causing havoc.

Portland, the homeless mecca of US youth, attracts people who take advantage of the city's generous social services. These are the customers that fund the deadliest drug market in the US, based on Mexican heroin that is leaving death in its wake.

In Memphis, addicts are switching to heroin and dealers, flush with cash, are attracting deadly stick-up crews. Cops find themselves confronted by paranoid and trigger-happy dealers as they try to stop a heroin epidemic from engulfing the city.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul are home to some of the purest heroin in the US and police are turning to informants to find the dealers. With a unique insight into the life of a mobile heroin dealer and the cop on his tail, we follow the secret hunt.

For many, Atlanta's night life is fuelled by drugs and one of the hottest is 'Molly'. From raves to AK47-toting dealers, Molly is all over the city. In the hands of the new generation of drug slingers, Molly is changing into a deadly new threat.

Buyers are so desperate for quality drugs, they travel to Dallas from Chicago and Atlanta, giving local dealers the chance to make big money. Competition for a piece of the trade in Dallas is fierce and, for players, the drug game is a dangerous one.

Baltimore has one of the biggest heroin problems in the world. The area of Pennsylvania Ave. alone takes $10 million a year from heroin sales. The booming business is expanding outwards to the suburbs to meet the demand of a growing new drug market.

With unprecedented access to the Boston's dealers, users, and law enforcement, this revealing program shows how shadowy Dominican drug organizations are becoming more powerful and explores their relationship with dealers who act as their sales force.
