Trama: Finding himself in considerable debt, Chris Smith, a Texan drug dealer, decides the only solution is to murder his mother to collect the insurance money. Conspiring with his father, Ansel, the ex-husband of Chris' mother, they decide to hire &Killer Joe& Cooper, a police detective who has a parallel career as a contract killer. They plan to give the money to Chris' sister Dottie, who Chris thinks is the beneficiary of the mother's life insurance policy. Chris is unable to front Killer Joe's fee. However, Chris agrees that Joe can take Dottie as a retainer until the insurance comes through. Acting upon the retainer, Killer Joe carries out the contract on Chris' mother. After the killing, it is discovered that Rex, her boyfriend, provided false information about the life insurance policy and that he is the actual beneficiary. Also, Chris' step-mother, Sharla, who is also involved with Rex, pushed Chris into hiring Killer Joe. When he discovers this, Killer Joe confronts Rex, kills him, and recovers the insurance check. Chris, knowing that he will be Killer Joe's next target, quickly makes plans to escape to Peru with Dottie.
