Story
Helpless to stop a thief from stealing his father’s modest nest egg, Travis grows up blaming himself for his parents’ suicide. Becoming a priest who operates a highway confessional with his ambivalent brother, Michael, he offers sage advice to chosen sinners while raining death on unrepentant thieves. Into the world of this antagonistic duo comes Mary Francis, a deranged young woman with psychopathic tendencies who kills a thief who threatens to expose the decidedly un-holy siblings. Filled with gratitude, Travis invites the woman into their sacred world which begins a chain of carnage-laced events that threaten to destroy the brothers’ bloody, decades-long partnership.
Summary
Travis and Michael, two brothers bound by blood and bullet, operate a highway confessional, doling out spiritual guidance while meting out retribution on unrepentant criminals. Their symbiotic existence is disrupted when Mary Francis, a deranged young woman with psychopathic tendencies, crosses their path. She kills a thief who threatens to expose the brothers' unsanctified enterprise, earning her an invitation into their macabre world. This union sparks a chain of carnage-laced events that strain the siblings' bloody bond and threaten everything they've built over decades on Mississippi's highways.
