I had the same problem, turned out to be a stuck rear shoe had glazed and was providing zero braking power. Pull the drums and see if everything moves like it should, check for glazing and leaks. Readjustment is mandatory, even if replacement is not required. Scuff up the shoes a bit even if they don't look shiny.
