Financial advisor Marty Byrde forms an apparently average family with his wife Wendy and their two teenage children. They lead a "normal" life in Chicago with one small exception: his main client is Mexico's largest drug cartel. When the cartel discovers that Marty's business partner is siphoning money, he and his family are forced to move to Ozark with his family to continue the business there and recoup the drug money. In Ozark, he encounters resistance from the local drug dealer and a criminal family, led by their 19-year-old niece, who are after his money. Meanwhile, a determined FBI agent keeps a close eye on him.
