Lost and alone on the streets of a small Mississippi town, Benji has to overcome overwhelming odds to become a hero, with only a belligerent bird and bungling stray mutt to help.

Clay Pigeons -- One death devolves into many more in this comical nightmare about an easy-going gas station attendant (Joaquin Phoenix) who covers up his best friend's suicide in a quirky small town.

Writer-director Joe Camp, who created the original Benji, brings back the beloved mutt in a family adventure that is truly for all ages. Lost and alone on the streets of a small Mississippi town, Benji has to overcome overwhelming odds to become a hero, with only a belligerent bird and bungling stray mutt to help. Sheldon isn't the brightest guy in the world but he knows what's right, even if his partner won't listen to him, while Colby is a fourteen-year-old boy who takes a big risk to help Benji. When these three unsuspecting souls find a common purpose, things will change-and lives will be saved-because Benji is off the leash!

He has a firm handshake, a ready smile, and some strange ideas about friendship. His name is Lester Long and when the bodies start piling up he generously decides to share the blame. Now the F.B.I. has got the whole town under observation, and Lester has put his new friend Clay over a barrel. The only way for Clay to set things straight is to beat one twisted individual at his own game of deceit and double-crossing.
