Set in the near future, “Mississippi Sizzling” explores a world where organized crime has discovered the wonders of biological weaponry. At the epicenter of this technological eruption is a parole officer named Tecumseh Sherman Johnson, Jr. From their entrenched positions deep in the heart of the Texas criminal justice system, the Johnson family has successfully culled some of the finest criminal prospects from the Greater Houston area.
The Johnson family utilize biological weapons to protect the interests of their invisible empire. When their patriarch suffers a crippling stroke, the world is thrust onto the broad shoulders of Junior Johnson. With a pregnant wife, a mentally ill brother who blabs family secrets, a legitimate career and all of the normal responsibilities associated with running an organized crime cartel, Junior faces one more urgent task. He must insure the outcome of the Mississippi gubernatorial election so that his cousin, Ontoine, can assume the office of state attorney general. Junior Johnson chooses political assassination as a means of insuring his family's preferred results.
Junior tries ever so gallantly to keep all of his plates in the air. But signals get crossed and chaos ensues. He assigns the vital task to a convict who suffers profound brain damage from a series of head injuries and years of cocaine and tequila. Ivan Guzman accepts the job but he leads his crew to the wrong target and they run head-long into the path of another dedicated assassin. The results are both deadly and puzzling.
