In a quiet Wisconsin town, John, a respected and well-liked carpenter, carries out a shocking act of violence by murdering the local town bully, Dutch Miller. As he tries to dispose of the body in a bonfire, he accepts help from a friend who grows uneasy when he notices traces of blood on John’s clothes.
