After Woody's daughter's engagement collapses, he loads up the family and heads to Austin for an extended stay at Matthew's ranch. What starts as a healing getaway quickly unravels when Matthew's mother, Ma Mac (Holland Taylor), accidentally lets slip the long-buried secret.

The premise leans hard into meta comedy, leveraging McConaughey and Harrelson's well-established public personas, including their acclaimed shared acting credit on the first season of HBO's True Detective.
Around the time of that project, McConaughey also won an Academy Award for his powerful turn in Dallas Buyers Club, which is an accolade that has thus far eluded Harrelson (a three-time nominee for The People vs Larry Flynt, The Messenger and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri).
