The story

In West Dallas, 22-year-old drug dealer Chris Smith comes to the trailer park home of his dimwitted father Ansel.

Chris and Ansel agree that after paying a hit man from the proceeds of the insurance policy, they will split the remainder four ways between themselves, Dottie and Sharla.

Digger has his biker henchmen beat Chris and threatens to have him killed unless he pays what he owes.
