When the duo are cleaning up recently deceased Uncle Chester’s dilapidated house, they uncover a dark little secret beneath the house’s rotting floorboards-a small skeleton. Hap wants to call the police. Leonard, being a black man in east Texas, persuades him this is not a good idea, and together they set out to clear Chester’s name on their own. The only things standing in their way is a houseful of felons, a vicious killer, and possibly themselves.
