Sounds like an episode from “Justified”, one of my favorite Amazon Prime TV series.
Only “Justified” is set in hillbilly country in Kentucky. It’s a quirky violent series, feels a lot like something the Coen brothers would do.
Gotta wonder how many other people end up on the mantle or heads displayed on the wall in Tennessee?....
