Abilene's family mistakenly thinks Ben was her boyfriend and take him under their wing.
Abilene's brother Ty, played by Boyd Holbrock, thinks his sister was murdered instead of dying from an opioid overdose. Ben then agrees to help look into her death and produce a podcast with his findings along with his friend, played by Issa Rae.
