Same thing happened to me a couple months ago. I would just barely put my foot on the brake, and one rear wheel would lock up. Then I lost all my brake fluid. It was the wheel cylinder on the rear passenger side. If you take your drums off, one of them should be wet with brake fluid.

After some trouble shooting turns out that BOTH cylinders went out in the rear drums 
i replaced them and i havent had any issues yet.
