Synopsis

Hap and Lenny's latest escapade takes them from the Texas borderlands into the hands of the Dixie Mafia after they set out to rescue Tillie, a woman trapped in a trafficking ring. What starts as a desperate rescue mission spirals into a violent, darkly comic chase across the border, as the two unlikely partners find themselves outgunned and outmatched by a criminal organization that doesn't take kindly to meddling outsiders.
