Film Description:

One night, a group of children stumble across a dead body while trespassing on a golf course. Fresh off her latest kill, assassin Layla stumbles into a bar and meets Arlynette Flores and her friends. The group views a news flash declaring the body at the golf course who is one of Layla’s kills missing. She calls her housemates, her brother and his fiancee, saying she’ll claim herself the killer of the man on the golf course and receive his bounty.

Meanwhile, the four children that discovered the body consult an old woman who works at the local hospital’s mortuary on performing an autopsy. Layla sneaks into the country club that holds the golf course, feigning urinating on herself to be let in. She tricks the security guard and searches every pool in the golf course, but finds no body. The night before, the four children stole it in an attempt to bring it to Platina, the mortuary technician, but are apprehended by Arlynette who loads the body into her car and has the children go with her.

Layla returns to her rental house just in time to witness her landlord chase and throw things at her housemates. They climb into the car and Layla drives them into the woods. They end up following an abandoned dirt trail and then a pair of wheelbarrow tracks to a burial site where multiple bodies including the one from the golf course lie. The children and Arlynette arrive, revealing Arlynette is collecting the bounties of targets she didn’t kill. Layla gets her to agree to split the bounty with her. Later, one of the children reports back to Platina of what happened with the body.
