The film is set in a small Oregon town, where a brutal serial killer nicknamed the 'Oregon undertaker' has been murdering and mutilating young women. Charlie is an ex-teacher turned disaffected call center employee who's fired on his first day. Distraught on being unable to provide for his daughter Emily and policewoman wife Penelope, he's approached by former colleague Gus, an aspiring scam artist who presents Charlie with a seemingly snag-free plan to make some cash: blackmail Reverend Smalls who, despite being a man of the cloth, has frequently turned up in the company database of visitors to illegal porn websites. Gus plans on extorting money from Reverend Smalls, with the intention of publicly exposing his secret shame should he refuse to pay up. Normally cautious Charlie reluctantly agrees to play a part in the scam, confident that with the money he'll garner from the deal he be able to turn things around for him and his family. When proud former teenage pageant queen Josie McBroom, Gus's scheming one-night stand, muscles in on the deal, their plan goes ahead. However, it all goes horribly wrong as one misfortune after another ends in three dead bodies, and the death count just keeps rising while the night drags on.
