Maggie and Alex Merdo enjoy a luxurious life in South Carolina. This is one of the most influential and powerful families in the state, as Alex is a successful lawyer who has continued the family dynasty. The situation changes when their son Pol becomes a defendant. The investigation alleges that he is responsible for the death of a female passenger on his motorboat. He steered the vessel while intoxicated and caused the crash. As the facts come to light, it becomes clear that this is not the only death the Merdo family may be involved in. To prevent the case from being swept under the rug, Mandy Matni hosts the podcast 'Merdo Murders,' conducts her own investigation, and shares the facts. As the investigation progresses, increasingly unsavory facts about this family become known to the public.
