Well, the thing is that the plot is presented purposedly in a very convoluted way. Here's the gist of it.

A bunch of dentists, lawyers and real state developers gang together to monetize hippies and poor people. The idea is to sell them drugs, then sell them treatment for the addiction and a set of new theeth (since heroin makes your teeth fall out) assuming they'll relapse and will be stuck in that endless cycle. The problem arises when the daughters of some of those tycoons fall in that cycle.

In a way, you can say that the book is a critique on how the system, being an amoral entity, fagocites the counter-culture movement to make profit stopping at nothing. The system, if left unchecked will eat everything, including the children of the ones who are benefiting from it. Thus, capitalism=bad.
