Baptized to the Bone

In this dark comedy, a strapping young man by the name of Ottis is dying to leave Sand Hills, North Carolina and produce his "Gospel Poetry Opera" in New York. With no money and few prospects, he decides to hustle Gladys, the local preacher’s wife. At first, Gladys appears an easy mark for cash, but she has artistic aspirations of her own, and her demands on Ottis soon multiply. What she doesn’t know is that Ottis is also hustling her husband, the preacher. The scams deepen, complications ensue, and events take an unexpected turn. The characters learn the hard way that sometimes, deception can get you exactly what you want.
