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 grew up a middle class kid in the rich suburbs. That’s so realistic and common it’s practically cliche.

    The only realistic part is the rich parents not making the kid out when it really came down to it. You don’t hear about it more because Rich parents get their kids out of drug issues and DUIs like the rest of us run errands on a Tuesday night.
