The Girl from Plainville takes its inspiration from a 2017 Esquire article by the same that explored the famous case. The show draws on the thousands of text messages, phone calls and emails exchanged between the two teenagers and focuses on teen struggles, mental health, and the development of their mostly virtual romantic relationship until its fatal conclusion with Conrad's (Colton Ryan) suicide. The supporting cast includes Chloë Sevigny at Conrad’s mother, Lynn Roy.
The story opens with the Conrad's suicide raising painful questions for his family and how they – and the local authorities – start to look for answers in his texts from a young woman, which seem to only create more questions still.
