Falling on desperate times, two friends, William Burke and William Hare, embark on a dark descent of lies, greed, and murder.

As their body count grew, along with their lust for achieving a higher lifestyle, their evil plot would soon unravel, revealing just how far some people are willing to go for the sake of money. Hang on, friends. This one’s a doozy.
