Two drug dealers, one serial killer, zero chance of playing it safe.
Meet Mark and Toby—partners in a not-so-legal enterprise. Mark is the slick-talking frontman; Toby is the chemically-inclined mastermind. Together, they run a thriving drug operation from their wild and chaotic hideout, where business is booming and the clientele is as bizarre as it is dangerous.
But their high-stakes hustle is about to collide with something far more deadly—a flesh-hungry serial killer stalking the city. With Mark’s love life crumbling under the pressure of his girlfriend's ultimatum and the body count rising, the duo find themselves caught between the brutal reality of their criminal world and a new, blood-soaked threat they can't control.
Taking Care of Business is a gritty, darkly comedic ride packed with razor-sharp dialogue, twisted humor, and unforgettable characters. Fans of Tarantino-style storytelling and transgressive antiheroes won’t want to miss this debut from Simon Pearce—a writer whose cinematic background brings each scene to visceral, gritty life.
