Detective Sean Riley (Johnny Strong) is trying to cope with the death of his young son and the failure of his marriage when his mentor Captain Pete Trahan (Tom Berenger) reassigns him to save him from the dark path he's headed down. Teamed with Detective Will Ganz (Kevin Phillips), the pair must solve a series of brutal homicide cases that have sparked a major gang war in the storm ravaged streets of New Orleans. It soon becomes clear that Riley's childhood friend Colin (Sean Patrick Flanery) is involved, and the detectives realize there is something far more sinister at play.
