The show casts Bateman as a financial adviser Marty Byrde, "who has been quietly laundering money for a drug kingpin [played by Esai Morales,] and must quickly uproot his wife and children [played by Sofia Hublitz and Skylar Gaertner] and move the operation to The Ozarks, after his partner is caught cheating the business."
