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?

    Drug addiction can happen among rich families, yes. Coke is common among them because it tends to be an expensive party drug.

    As Noel_Skum mentioned, the dealer likely wouldn’t kill the guy who owed them. Some much more likely ways the dealer would act:

    • Kidnap the debtor and ask for a ransom from the family
    • Get info on the family in order to kidnap some relative
    • Steal from the family home (likely convincing the debtor to do that, as they likely know where mom’s jewels are, etc)
    • The two make a plot to kill the parents so the child can inherit the entire fortune and pay off the debt.

    All of these have happened in real life
