Premise
Thirteen-year-old Nicole "Nick" Franzelli was raised by her father Tony who ran the popular Franzelli's restaurant in Portland, Oregon. After Liz Thompson opened her rival Crescendo Restaurant across the street, the Thompson family used dirty tactics to drive Franzelli's out of business. Tony borrowed money from the mob in a desperate effort to keep his restaurant afloat and then went to prison for robbing a convenience store to meet his repayments to the mob. Taken into state care, Nick was placed with corrupt foster parents Sam and Dorothy Harbaugh, who trained her as a con artist.
The series begins as Nick infiltrates the Thompson home under the alias "Nicole Patterson," claiming that her parents recently died in a car crash and the family are her closest living relatives. Under the influence of her father and the Harbaughs, Nick endeavors to steal money and valuables from the Thompsons and wreak revenge on them. However, as she becomes increasingly attached to the family, Nick's loyalties are divided and she struggles to carry out her plan.
Genre
Reviews note the difficulty in classifying the genre of No Good Nick, citing that, although it casts veteran child stars of Disney, Freeform, and Nickelodeon, the series features themes more attuned to adults such as physical violence and drama.
