| Synopsis : |
Deep in the woods on a foggy night, a body is being buried. The story begins three days back. Turtle was tricked by his sly business partner, Will. He decided to wag him off with the help from his enthusiastic pal Chewy. Chewy has a rule about killing: \"To kill is easy; to bury is difficult. A successful murder relies on how well you dig a hole.\" As a devoted friend, Chewy is very enthusiastic about this digging project. He prepared tools, found a good spot, and even watched the door while Turtle seduced a young woman in a nearby restaurant. Only Turtle didn\'t know Chewy might have another plan hidden in the trunk. The restaurant owner Ox is a professional hit man. As his last assignment, before his retirement he kills a gangster leader. Patience is his best merit. He drills a tiny hole in the toilet at a karaoke club. Sitting in the next room, he waited for his target to show up. Wait, shoot, get paid and go home. That is the rule for being the number one killer. While Will was planning another business scam, he was unaware of another dangerous threat, not from Turtle, but also from his honey A-Mei, who was planning to con his money with a kidnapping scheme. Fate has brought them together in this small town. They all follow the golden rules. The hole is ready. But who will end up as the victim of the game? |
