Staten Island's Ramirez women revolve around absence. The middle child Ruthy, who was thirteen years old, vanished without a trace after track practice, leaving the family scarred and scrambling. Twelve years later, oldest sister Jessica sees a woman on a raunchy reality show called Catfight on her television screen. She rushes to inform Nina, her younger sister: This woman calls herself Ruby and has red hair, but the beauty mark under her left eye is easy to spot. After all of this time, could it be Ruthy?

The years since Ruthy's vanishing haven't been kind with the Ramirez family. Nina, after four successful years in college, has returned home to medical school rejections and is forced to work in the mall folding tiny bedazzled thongs at the lingerie store. Their mother, Dolores, still struggles with the loss, Jessica juggles a newborn baby with her job in a hospital, and it is 2008 and Nina is still dealing with the loss.

Subsequent to seeing maybe‑Ruthy on their screen, Jessica and Nina devise a strategy to head to where the show is recorded looking for their long‑lost sister. Dolores and Irene, her pot-stirring holy roller best friend, insist on joining when she learns about their plan. The Ramirez women will be forced to finally face the past and look toward a future—with or without Ruthy in it—after a family road trip and reckoning.

What Befell Ruthy Ramirez is a clear family picture, in the entirety of its broken reality, investigating the familial connections among ladies and patterns of generational brutality, expansionism, race, and quiet, loaded with snideness, disdain, delicacy, and, obviously, love.
