The Byrdes and their teenage children, Charlotte and Jonah, are for all intents and purposes an ordinary family with ordinary lives. Except for the job of Marty, a Chicago financial advisor who also serves as the top money launderer for the second largest drug cartel in Mexico.
When things go wrong, Marty must uproot his family from the skyscrapers of Chicago and relocate to the serene Lake of the Ozarks region of Missouri.
To stay alive, he promised his boss that he could hide several million dollars from the drug business.
However, when they arrive in Ozark, things are not so simple and they agree to take over a strip club to launder the money.
To make matters worse, he gets into trouble with the criminal gang, the Langmores, who want him dead.
Ozark is a rather tense narrative story but very entertaining and easy to follow. Jason Bateman plays a character very similar to the anti-hero of Breaking Bad. Highly recommended.
