Logline: A mild-mannered funeral home director moves to a small
Southern town and turns to murder as an attempt to improve
business.

Summary: The first act introduces Tod, our murdering/funeral
home directing protagonist. Tod has moved to Richmond, Tennessee
with his pregnant girlfriend, Christine. Tod is not well liked
by Christine’s family and the couple’s cash flow is soreley
lacking pre-baby. That’s when Tod almost hits Christine’s
grandmother with his car, and she dies of a heart attack. Tod
feels terrible, but gets hired to do her funeral netting a fair
chunk of cash... giving Tod an idea.

     Tod first kills Christine’s cousin, Ronnie by somehwat
accidently causing him to fall off a roof. Tod then breaks into
Christine’s aunt Janice’s house and after a confrontation, Tod
kills her with a fireaxe. This shakes Tod for a while. He begins
going a bit crazy, but when money runs short again, Tod kills
and robs Christine’s brother, Buster. As this happens, Christine
gives birth to her and Tod’s daughter.

     Christine’s other brother, Sheriff Geoff, begins to put the
pieces together and catch onto Tod. There is a confrontation in
the cemetery of Serenity Acres and Tod brutally murders Geoff
with a screwdriver. To his horror, Christine is standing there
watching. He attacks her in a fury, but she proceeds to shoot
him with Geoff’s gun and burries him alive in a grave. The final
shot ends with a soft banging where Tod was burried.
