A Kardashian-like family and the early climate change movement are linked by a suspicious death 30 years ago. Artie Flanagan leaves his job as scriptwriter for Peepin' on the Pisanos to investigate three tragic accidents connected to the reality show matriarch Suzie Pisano. Backed by a wealthy producer to create a sensational documentary, Flanagan homes in on uncovering secrets about the death of climate activist Jimmy Doherty, a senator rumored to have had a torrid affair with the married Suzie. As disturbing discoveries mount, Flanagan finds himself not only followed, threatened, and beaten, but also romantically pursued by two of the Pisano daughters, who may well have ulterior motives. Flanagan balances these investigations with his fragmented basement-dwelling home-life, as he finds time for his tree-hugging teenage daughter and his climate scientist girlfriend. Ultimately, Flanagan must rush to expose shocking truths about the murder and complete the documentary before larger forces bring him down.
