Jason Bateman plays a father from Chicago with a seemingly normal accounting job who is also the top money launderer for the second largest drug cartel in Mexico. After an attempt gone wrong, he moves his family to the Missouri Ozarks in a $500 million money laundering mission to please a druglord.
