When you meet Cletus Compton you'll sleep with the lights on.
Cletus and Warren Compton burn hundreds of acres of Ozark’s forest to cover up their murder and kidnapping scheme. They soon discover not everyone on the mountain is dead. They head for ‘Mama’s’ place down south to escape. Sheriff Tony Massey teams up with FBI profiler Dr. Boo Jordan, and two other agents, to catch the wicked Compton brothers. The strategy is risky but they decide to use one of their own as bait to lure the criminals back to Ash County. At the last minute the team receives help from an unlikely source. Will this be the end of the Comptons, or the team?
