Vengeance

New York journalist Ben Manalowitz (Novak) unexpectedly receives a phone call from Ty Shaw (Holbrook) informing him that his "girlfriend" Abby Shaw (Tipton), in actuality a minor hookup, has died of an apparent drug overdose. On Ty's request, Ben flies to Texas to attend the funeral and meets Abby's family: brother Ty, mother Sharon (Smith-Cameron), sisters Paris (Amara) and Kansas (Cameron), younger brother known as "El Stupido" (Bickel), and Granny Carole (Stephens). Ty informs Ben that he suspects Abby was actually murdered, adamantly maintaining that she never took drugs, and asks Ben to accompany him to find the truth and avenge her. After conferring with his podcaster producer Eloise (Rae), Ben elects to aid them as part of a story about grief and denial.
