I'm writing a revenge story. This guy or girl comes from a rich family. Their dad is a doctor and their mom is a lawyer. The kid is in their 20s and is a drug addict. Their family cut them off because of it.

The dealer kills them because they couldn't pay the money they owed. Then a loved one goes after the dealer for revenge.

Is this good? I didn’t want to overcomplicate it by giving it a huge conspiracy, but at the same time, realistically, couldn’t they have gotten the money some other way?

The only thing that I think is unrealistic about this is drugs are rarely sold on credit. The most common way people get into life-threatening debt is underground gambling

EDIT: A certain type of rich person falls into the trap of cocaine plus alcohol benders. Combine that with a gambling habit and you have a very quick way to ruin a life
