Lynn Roy (Chloë Sevigny) is Coco’s mother. She has a dry sense of humor, is intelligent and street smart. She grapples with guilt over her son’s death at first, but as the investigation progresses, Michelle becomes the target of her ire. Eventually, she arrives at the conclusion that blame may be a more complicated concept than she previously thought.
