Sinossi

The quiet city of Biloxi is hit by a series of deaths; every death has a convincing explanation, a suspect, a motive. Sheriff Logan is in charge of solving these cases, but, with his alcoholism and other addictions, he moves further and further from the truth. One of his assistants, Johnny, whom he considers a simple novice, is the only one who sees more than meets the eye. He starts the investigation with the origin of the problem, which dates back several decades... 


A boy suffers endless torment, the victim of ruthless bullying at school. He is on the brink of the abyss, but his life changes when he meets his grandfather Jerry, the notorious murderer in the county. He has just been released from prison to spend his last months with his family before cancer takes him. He breathes a thread of hope into his grandson and convinces him to take revenge on his obnoxious classmates. It won't happen today, or tomorrow, but when a long time has passed and he is free from all suspicion. It needs to be done this way to avoid being caught.
