You know the saying “Everything’s bigger in Texas?” Well, B.J. Novak’s Vengeance takes that to heart, unveiling a story that keeps getting bigger the further you get into it.

Stay with me here: the story begins with Novak’s character Ben traveling from NYC to Texas for a funeral. A girl he was hooking up with died of an opioid overdose – and apparently, her family thought the two of them were a lot more serious than they were. Not only that, when Ben arrives in Texas, he learns the family’s convinced her death was actually a murder. There’s no evidence of that, but it gives Ben an idea. He’ll join the investigation, and turn the whole thing into a podcast about how conspiracy theories get started. 

Except once Ben starts investigating, things don’t exactly go as planned. Maybe there is evidence of foul play here. 

Either way, the story’s a lot bigger than expected.

Check out the trailer for Vengeance below.

Novak wrote and directed the thriller-comedy, and stars as the lead Ben. The film also stars Issa Rae, Ashton Kutcher, Boyd Holbrook, J. Smith-Cameron, and Dove Cameron. 

Vengeance is produced by Jason Blum, Adam Hendricks, and Greg Gilreath, and distributed by Focus Features.

You can catch it in theaters Friday, July 29.
