Detective Cadillac Holland is called out of his comfort zone in New Orleans' French Quarter to investigate what looks like a case of homicide with the suspect on the run. Nothing Detective Holland handles is ever simple, and the dead woman being the daughter of a friendly judge in New Orleans and the suspect being the son of the state's most powerful senator puts him on a tightrope. Things become especially tricky when the couple swap roles and Detective Holland discovers his presence in the rural parish may have attracted the attention of a serial killer with a long list of intended victims, a list he does not want to be on if he can help it.
