Synopsis: From the mind of Oscar winner Quentin Tarantino comes a story about lies and deceit with a funky twist. When Vincent died and Jules decided to take a trip of enlightenment Marcellus need two new hit men to give his point across to buyers and anyone else who didn’t catch his drift. The two men that he decides to hire are men by the names of Frank and Louie who was connected to Marcellus for a long time but never got the chance to show what they had to offer. Louie is Jules nephew and knows everything he needs to know about the hit man business from his uncle, maybe too much sometimes and tries to transfer his knowledge to the by any means necessary Frank. What Louie doesn’t know is that the attitude of Frank has attracted someone that is not to be touched by anyone but the boss Mia Wallace.

Pumpkin and Honey Bunny has been on the run for almost 8 years because of an eye witness who identified them in a restaurant robbery they committed or tried to commit. Needing money to escape to Mexico Pumpkin comes across a man who has a problem and needs them to kill a man and his wife because she is cheating. The offer is 100,000 and too good to not accept.

With Jules back in town this is his chance to reconnect with Marcellus Wallace for some much needed cash. When Marcellus comes to him with a job to let Marcellus know that he can be trusted again Jules accepts. What Jules doesn’t know is that the job is to kill his nephew because Marcellus knows that if he doesn’t kill Louie then he will come back with a vengeance. Will Jules choose the fact which is him choosing his nephew which is the only real family he has in a long time or the fiction which is money that doesn’t last longer than family does.
