Überblick

When 22-year-old drug dealer Chris has his stash stolen by his mother, he has to come up with six thousand dollars quick or he’s dead. A glimmer of hope materializes with a life insurance scam, whereby his mother must die for a $50k payout. Our savior Killer Joe is called upon to take care of business but he needs the money up front, which clearly isn’t an option. Chris’ attractive 20-year-old sister, Dottie, catches Killer Joe’s eye and they strike a deal where he holds her as sexual collateral until the money comes in.
