Ozark Season 4: Plot Details
Ozark will continue to follow its original crime drama series premise. Following a botched money laundering attempt for a Mexican drug cartel, financial adviser Martin Byrde offers to set up a larger laundering operation in central Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks area as an apology. Marty’s family is abruptly relocated from Naperville, Illinois, to Osage Beach, Missouri, a secluded summer vacation resort. The Byrdes get enmeshed with local criminals, particularly the Langmore and Snell families, and subsequently the Kansas City Mafia, following their arrival in Missouri.
The official plot summary for the fourth season reveals that the Byrde family’s journey from suburban Chicago life to their criminal enterprise in the Ozarks will finally come to an end. After the dramatic season 3 ending, the fourth season of Ozark is likely to pick up where things left off. The Byrde’s will likely see growth in their company now that Navarro is on their side, but Ruth will continue to be a threat now that she is working with Darlene Snell. If Jonah discovers that Wendy was involved in his Uncle Ben’s killing, he may prove to be problematic for Marty and Wendy.
