Shotgun Stories

After the death of their father, two sets of half-brothers begin a bloody feud that raises questions about the bonds of family and the value of revenge. After raising Son (Michael Shannon), Kid (Barlow Jacobs), and Boy (Douglas Ligon) in an abusive environment, their alcoholic father turned over a new leaf and started a new, respectable life--with another family. This tension explodes at his funeral, and inundates the rest of the film in tragedy. (official distributor synopsis)
