The film follows the story of financial consultant Marty Bird (Jason Bateman), is forced to move his family from Chicago to Ozark, Missouri, after a money laundering scheme goes awry. There, he must launder $500 million for a Mexican drug cartel in order to save his life and that of his loved ones.
In Ozark, Marty and his wife Wendy (Laura Linney) face local criminals and corrupt politicians as they try to build a legitimate business and maintain the facade of a normal family. Their children, Charlotte and Jonah, are also drawn into their parents' dangerous world, each finding their own way to cope with their new reality.
