This was a pretty slow build, but the twist was good. Most of the characters are unlikeable, but the dysfunction kind of draws you in. Throughout the story, I found myself simultaneously frustrated and bewildered with the characters’ actions, but at the end of the day, I still found myself rooting for them.
Graphic: Drug abuse and Murder
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Child abuse, Alcoholism, and Violence
