Marked for Life

Cody and his dad Jamie are laid off from work, but they spend quality time together traveling the country and hunting snakes.
One "National T.V. Program" is more than willing to fit the bill, only if the two will travel to warmer climes to hunt snakes for a film crew.
In Tennessee, a series of cops pull the Coots' over, all under the guise of illegal window tint. Cody knows this has nothing to do with tint.
It has everything to do with the Coots family serpent boxes, which are all filled with rattlesnakes, riding in the back seat.
