Based on the Ross Thomas novel of the same name, Briarpatch follows Allegra Dill, a dogged investigator returning to her border-town home in San Bonifacio, Texas. What begins as a search for her sister's killer turns into an all-consuming fight to bring the corrupt hometown Allegra thought she left behind to its knees. Briarpatch celebrates the beloved genre that Thomas’ book represents - a unique blend of crime, thriller, mystery and pulp fiction - while updating his electrifying sense of fun, danger and place for a new generation.
