In the movie "The Dry," Federal Agent Aaron Falk reluctantly returns to his hometown, Kiewarra, a small rural community suffering from a devastating drought. He attends the funeral of his childhood friend, Luke Hadler, who is believed to have committed a brutal murder-suicide, taking the lives of his wife and young son before ending his own life.

As Aaron reconnects with the tight-knit community, memories resurface from his youth, specifically the mysterious death of his friend Ellie Deacon, which occurred twenty years earlier. Ellie was found dead in a river, and it was ruled a suicide. However, many in Kiewarra believe she was actually murdered and that someone in town might be responsible.

Driven by his own guilt for having left the town and Ellie behind, Aaron decides to investigate both Luke Hadler's death and the supposed suicide of Ellie Deacon. However, his inquiries are met with resistance, and he encounters a lot of hostility from the townspeople, especially the remaining members of the Hadler family, who don't want him digging up the past.

As Aaron delves deeper into the town's dark secrets, he uncovers a tangled web of lies, betrayal, and long-standing grudges. It becomes evident that the town is hiding more than just the truth about Ellie's death. With the help of Sergeant Greg Raco, a local police officer who believes in Aaron's innocence, the duo faces mounting obstacles as they get closer to revealing the real story.

Throughout the investigation, Aaron also confronts his own haunted past, plagued by the memories of his childhood friendship with Ellie and his strained relationship with his late father, who was renowned in Kiewarra for his illicit activities. As the drought continues to take its toll on the already struggling community, tensions rise, and Aaron realizes that his search for the truth might have dangerous consequences.

In a race against time and with his own life at stake, Aaron must confront the darkness that has plagued Kiewarra for decades and find justice for Ellie's death, all while trying to survive the relentless heat and hostility of the town. "The Dry" is a gripping and atmospheric crime thriller that explores the consequences of secrets and the lasting impact of past actions in a community on the brink of breaking.
