I’m writing a revenge story. This guy or girl comes from a rich family. Their dad is a doctor and their mom is a lawyer. The kid is in their 20s and is a drug addict. Their family cut them off because of it.
The dealer kills them because they couldn’t pay the money they owed. Then a loved one goes after the dealer for revenge.
Is this good? I didn’t want to overcomplicate it by giving it a huge conspiracy, but at the same time, realistically, couldn’t they have gotten the money some other way?
I’m assuming they can’t pay because the family cut them off. OP will need to come up with an explanation for the family refusing to help. Just being an addict would not be enough in a normal functional family, but it would depend on the protagonists past (mis)behaviour or maybe the family is very much against drugs for religious reasons.
OP is suggesting the rich family can’t pay. So unless its a typo it doesn’t really make a lot of sense.
Rich family WON’T pay is more realistic imo
OP is using they/them to refer to the junkie. I see what you mean, but I’m not sure it’s the family that will get killed or just the junkie.
Ahhh. Now I’m rereading it, that kind of makes sense.
