The film takes place in an unnamed mill town ( filmed in Birmingham, Alabama) that has seen better days. The one mill town has literary broken the backs of workers who go to the Conley family to obtain oxy. Josie Conley (Margarita Levieva) sells one to a woman who soon dies. Everyone in town knows what happened. Sheriff Kyle (Dash Mihok) has a relationship with Josie and he looks the other way. Kip Conley (Josh Hartnett) is the eldest brother with a baby on the way. Youngest brother Boots (Owen Teague) is recently introduced to the family business, as they do what they have to do to get by. However, where there are drugs there is money and there are guns. Each one of the Conleys has their own idea on how to solve the problems they caused. This leads to an unlikely climax, one that made the film.
