Michigan cons Lowell and Boone Stokes arrive in Trinity with the intention of extorting money from vulnerable locals. Caleb spies through a porch window as the seamy pair, along with their dastardly yet decidely more handsome cohorts, suave but obsessive Earl McKeever (a rapist), and the non-eponymous Just Eddie (a claustrophobic lush), trigger the heart attack-induced bathtub drowning death of Trinity resident Will Hawkins.
