Overview
The recently deceased Mona Dearly was many things: an abusive wife, a domineering mother, a loud-mouthed neighbor and a violent malcontent. So when her car and corpse are discovered in the Hudson River, police Chief Wyatt Rash immediately suspects murder rather than an accident. But, since the whole community of Verplanck, N.Y., shares a deep hatred for this unceasingly spiteful woman, Rash finds his murder investigation overwhelmed with potential suspects.

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film is a dark comedy murder mystery centered on the death of a universally disliked character, with its narrative focusing on the quirky inhabitants of a small town and the resolution of a crime rather than promoting any specific political ideology or addressing broader societal issues.
The movie features a predominantly white cast without intentional race or gender swaps of traditional roles.
