Plot
‘Briarpatch’ sees Allegra Dill as an investigator who is led to Texas by her sister’s murder. While in the pursuit of the killer, Allegra takes it upon herself to eliminate the much-prevalent corruption in her hometown. Rosario Dawson plays Allegra Dill — people call her "Pick," short for "Pickle" — an investigator working for an ambitious senator (Enrique Murciano). After getting tossed back into the proverbial briarpatch of her youth, Pick discovers several things: Her sister seemed to have an amount of money that hints at corruption and may have contributed to her death. Her sister also seemed to be engaged to an already married fellow officer (Brian Geraghty). This move back also allows Pick to rekindle her affections with her childhood friend Jake Spivey (Jay R. Ferguson), whose wealth comes from running guns with or for an internationally wanted dealer being pursued by Pick's senator boss. And as you can see nothing about this sounds clean to Pick who needs to get to the root of her sister's murder.
