Desperate for financial means to fund a grandmother’s private care and cover overdue rent, 20-year-old lifelong best friends Tre and Andre join a local criminal syndicate. After a terrifying midnight drop to collect a burner phone, they are summoned to a late-night laundromat to meet their erratic new mob boss, Vane. Vane tests their psychological resolve by forcing them to patrol his massive property armed only with steak knives. After surviving the grueling night, they are dragged to a secluded oak forest to handle a perilous "loose end". Handed shovels, the duo realizes the horrific reality: they aren't destroying loose papers, but burying a human body.
