A young couple is framed for drug dealing, just so that the local sheriff can confiscate their boat. The husband protests and is shot. A deputy who doesn´t like being involved in bloodshed is murdered and the body is hidden.

Then Chapel enters the picture. He starts by trying to sow dissension in the group - claiming that another deputy is talking to the feds, while the mayor´s phone records say that he also has been talking to the police. Soon the group starts making demands on Chapel to back up his story, which may result in Chapel having to kill his client.
