Atlanta private investigator Sunny Childs bails her ditsy cousin Lee-Lee out of prison after Lee-Lee is arrested while filming a documentary on a death row convict who is scheduled to be executed in a few days. Lee-Lee insists she was falsely arrested when she asked questions about the conviction of Germind Dale Weedlaw for raping and killing two women. The cousins stay around to investigate further but find the locals to be very hostile. While there is a serious focus on capital punishment, the interplay between the cousins and foibles of local characters adds a lot of humor. ( )
