In 1872, a black man versed in good Voodoo is dragged to the local cemetery to be lynched by two brutal brothers. Two twelve-year-old black boys follow and the brave one tries to stop the lynching without success. The black man puts a hex on the brothers and all their kin before they hang him.

   Eerily, fireflies and a supernatural force entered the dead black man's body bringing him back to life. Blending justice and revenge, he kills the two white men in horrendous fashion.

    In the 1930's, the brave black boy now an old man, warns the two twelve-year-old white boys to stay away from the cemetery because it's the NIGHT OF THE FIREFLIES. Taking no heed, the boys enter the cemetery to explore on their own.

    While the boys tempt fate, the local sheriff robs the town bank, murders the bank manager, and arranges to have his hunchback brother secretly bury the body in the cemetery. The sheriff and hunchback are kin to the brutal brothers.

    The boys witness the hunchback digging the grave with the bank manager lying beside it. After a harrowing escape, they report their findings to the sheriff unaware the hunchback and sheriff are brothers. The sheriff intends to murder the boys and bury them with the bank manager. But he isn't prepared for the horror of the NIGHT OF THE FIREFLIES and the return of the black man his kin had lynched.

    This low budget, Stand By Me type script is aimed at a crossover audience.
