 Eugene Grimes, a doctor living and working in the underbelly of New Orleans, wakes in the night to find a woman with a bullet wound - Callie Carter - and a case containing $2 million abandoned on his doorstep. Drawn into a labyrinth of betrayal, killing and revenge by Callie and Luther Logan, her partner in crime, Grimes finds himself forced to confront the nightmare of his own dark past in a psychological death-match with Bad City s cruellest law enforcer: the unstoppable Captain Clarence Seymour Jefferson.
