About This Show

Killer Joe tells the sordid tale of the Smith family, a greedy pack of trailerpark-inhabiting, fast food-devouring survivalists who dig themselves into a hole of deceit, drugs, sexual abuse and murder. When exposed-wiring Chris needs cash to pay off his dealers, he enlists his ineffectual pot smoking father, sexually voracious stepmother and beloved sister to help in a scheme to murder mom and collect on the insurance. Enter Killer Joe full time cop, part time assassin. Betrayal and sexual terrorism spin out of control until the shocking, explosive climax of this strange love story.
