A dark, regionally-grounded crime thriller about low-level operatives caught in a deadly spiral after a drug deal collapses, driven by paranoia and the consequences of working for an unseen authority.

Kyle and Swin live by the orders of an Arkansas-based drug kingpin named Frog, whom they've never met. But when a deal goes horribly wrong, the consequences are deadly.
