Meg Rayburn

Meg Rayburn is a rising young attorney and the reliable daughter in a family that runs a beloved Florida Keys inn. She returns home for a milestone celebration, poised and capable, holding her siblings together with steady competence — the one who has it figured out, or seems to.

Linda Cardellini plays composure as a kind of armor, letting small cracks show in her voice and posture long before the script explains why. The show trusts her stillness to carry dread, and she rewards that trust by making Meg's calm feel increasingly like the most unsettling thing in the room.
