Welcome to the 1980s, where the war on drugs rages on and America's teenagers are caught in the crossfire. Enter Straight Incorporated, a controversial new rehab program that promises its tough love approach can set kids back on the straight and narrow. But for the survivors of Straight, their experience tells a horrifyingly different story — one of abuse, torture, and brainwashing. Season 2 of “The Sunshine Place” delves into the shocking tale of Straight Incorporated, an experimental teen rehab that descended into a sadistic cult exploiting parents' deepest fears and their children's vulnerabilities. This heart-wrenching exploration of parenting, family, and the human spirit intertwines with the dark underbelly of power, money, and politics. And at the heart of it all, we find a connection back to the subject of “The Sunshine Place” Season 1, Synanon. Executive Produced by Robert Downey Jr., Susan Downey, and Emily Barclay Ford of Team Downey, together with Josh McLaughlin of Wink Pictures.The Sunshine Place is an Audacy original.© Audacy, Inc.

Many of them embark on a quest for answers, but the architects of their pain and suffering have moved on to bigger, more insidious things. So the survivors look to one another for meaning, but their newfound connection reveals a profoundly dark secret. Together, they discover that the only path forward leads back home.

This is a story that has needed to be told for a long time. there is much more to the story than was told in the Sunshine place, but it does shed some light on a seemingly happy place full of darkness.

Shines light on a dark place

The Straight, sembler, Miller Newton story has been "out there" in a variety of forms but this is the telling that ties the pieces together in a way that makes sense of the "incredible" and lays out how and why it happened. I highly recommend it.

first rate and compelling
