Set in Mississippi in 1932, Sinners sees identical twins Smoke and Stack (Jordan), return to their rural hometown after a seven-year stint in Chicago.

Equipped with cash, guns and liquor, the entrepreneurial duo sets out to open a juke joint in an old sawmill, swiftly hiring old acquaintances as its workers. Their talented cousin Sammie, played by newcomer Miles Caton, is tasked with performing for the patrons. But when unexpected visitors turn up at the club's doors, the hedonistic opening night party turns into a bloodbath.
