Abner and Bessy Mae share a special sort of love. A love for brutally torturing their random hapless victims and fully dismembering them until nothing remains but a pile of mangled parts and human slop. And that’s just foreplay! These two impassioned lovers just can’t seem to get enough of the chunky red stuff. Take a trip in their boogie wagon through the backroads of Louisiana and East Texas as they seek out cheap thrills, moonshine, dope, fried frog legs, casual Cajun encounters, and more depraved sex and violence than you can shake a corncob at.
