What happened at the end of True Story?
True Story kept viewers gripped throughout. The drama focuses on Kid and Carlton (Kevin and Wesley's respective characters), two brothers who find themselves embroiled in a scandal involving a woman named Daphne, who was presumed dead by Kid when he wakes up in his hotel room lying next to hear 'dead' body. Not knowing how this could have happened, the brothers seek to cover their tracks.
However, as episodes move on – viewers come to learn that "Daphne" is not in fact dead, or called Daphne for that matter. It transpires that Carlton has teamed up with his girlfriend Simone, who was pretending to be Daphne, in order to scam Kid for money. Simone and Carlton enlist the help of a gangster named Ari, who demands millions of dollars from Kid to cover up the fake death – it's this money that the couple had their eyes on.

But, in true TV style, things veer off track and Kid ends up murdering Ari and hides his body. Soon after, the police launch an investigation and the brothers find themselves being blackmail by a fan who tapes their disposal of Ari's body. At this point, the two are knee-deep in trouble.
Seeing no way out, especially after Ari's brothers come to find them, Kid ends up getting the fan killed before going on to shoot Ari's brothers. In a shock moment in the finale, Kid then shoots his own brother after finding out about his scam, and stages his death to look like Carlton was killed by Ari's brothers. The show then ends with Kid giving a TV interview about his brother's desperate need to cover his crimes – pinning the crimes on Carlton.

Is True Story based on real life?
Given the title and some broad plot points, many are assuming that Kevin Hart's True Story is based on his life, but this is not necessarily the case – particularly when it comes to the ending! Although the show depicts a successful comedian who has an older brother (which matches Kevin's life) the finer details and main plot points are purely fictional.
