Vengeance : New York journalist Ben Manalowitz unexpectedly receives a phone call from Ty Shaw informing him that his “girlfriend” Abby Shaw (in actuality just someone Ben hooked up with), 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, sisters Paris and Kansas City, younger brother known as “El Stupido”, and Granny Carole. 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 podcast producer Eloise, Ben elects to aid them as part of a story about grief and denial.
Ben and Ty travel to the oil pumps to meet Ty’s friend Crawl, who explains that parties often occur at the oil fields, that there is a spot just outside where the parties are normally held that is dubbed “the Afterparty”, where dead bodies have been reported over time, and that there is a particular drug dealer named Sancholo who Ty suspects may have killed Abby. Ben later meets Quinten Sellers, an eccentric record producer who, like Ben, is an outsider and college-educated but has come to adopt Texas as his home. Quinten gives Ben a memory stick that has video and audio of Abby performing. Ben gets to know Abby more through these videos, learning about her family and her. He learns that “El Stupido’s” real name is Mason, and about how much the family loved each other. Ben confronts Sancholo outside of a bar to discuss Abby’s death, and Sancholo reveals he was in Tulsa on the night of Abby’s death and reiterates Ty’s belief that Abby was not a drug abuser. Ben later joins the Shaw family at a rodeo, where he accidentally draws the crowd’s ire by expressing support for the Texas Longhorns, when the crowd is overwhelmingly in favor of the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
Ben speaks to law enforcement agencies in the area and learns that they each tend to shift responsibility of “the Afterparty” to another agency because it is in a spot where the jurisdictions overlap. While speaking with Eloise about the updated status of the show, Eloise informs Ben that the show will be previewed on NPR; his car then blows up. To his surprise, the whole Shaw family comes to see him and takes him to Whataburger for the first time. During dinner, Eloise tells Ben that the story is finished and to come home, much to Ben’s dismay. When back inside, Granny lets slip that Abby was in fact a drug user, and that Ty had lied to Ben to try and get closer to her supposed boyfriend. Leaving the restaurant, Ben reveals that he was not close with Abby and Ty punches him in the stomach, and they leave separately.
While in bed, Mason mentions how Abby would speak in code with him, saying “1435” (“I love you mucho”). Enlightened, he uses that number to unlock Abby’s phone. He sees someone else labeled “Ben” in her phone, and sees texts indicating that she was abandoned by this person. Armed with one of Ty’s pistols, Ben rides with Mason to a party at the oil pumps. After learning that his car was blown up by Texas Tech fans from the rodeo, Ben meets with Ty and Quinten. When Quinten and Ben start speaking, they go back to Quinten’s tent. Ben notices numerous packaged drugs that match the description given by one of the law enforcement officers, and sees an unconscious woman being dragged out of the tent. After turning off his main recorder, Ben elicits a confession from Quinten that he caused Abby to overdose and then dragged her to the Afterparty, where she later died. Ben pulls out his phone, which recorded the entire confession, and Quinten expands upon how there is more story that will be told, about how attention will be shifted to Ben, then to Abby’s family. Ben executes Quinten on the spot. Upon returning to the Shaw house, Ben reconciles with Ty and deletes his recordings, electing to keep the story between the Shaws and him.
