Synopsis
Sandra's trouble begins when her husband is busted for selling home-made speed in his living room, and not only busted but busted by a Cops-like reality TV show. When husband Dean's mother sees the show she dies of a heart attack, and Sandra has to raise the money both for Dean's bail and mom's funeral. She goes to her doped out sister Amanda for help and together they plan to rob a convenience store. Unfortunately someone else has had the same idea, and while they are smoking up in the parking lot, makes away with all the cash. They follow and Sandra sends off a warning shot. But she is a poor marksman and her warning shot kills the thief -- who transpires to be Dean. The only thing to do, it seems, is to dig a very big hole and cover up all of the evidence.
