A hood's murder
triggers a bloody gangland drug war, and a
smooth-talking New Orleans detective is assigned to find
out who's behind it. A tangled web of evidence,
half-truths, and family secrets begins to point to
higher-ups in his own department, but he refuses to
believe it -- that is, until he meets his match in an
assistant district attorney from the north.
She's in town to
investigate allegations of police misconduct and quickly
senses what's going on. Repeatedly clashing with the
detective, she urges him to face the truth and stand up
to his responsibilities as an officer of the law. Sparks
fly almost immediately between the two, and a romance
follows soon thereafter. Once he has come around to her
way of thinking, they join forces and solve the crime
together.
Shot in New Orleans, Louisiana; color by DeLuxe.
Jim Garrison, one-time Kennedy assassination conspiracy
theorist (see "JFK" directed by Oliver Stone, 1991),
makes a cameo in the film as a judge.
The film inspired a TV series of the same name,
premiering on the USA cable network August 11, 1996!!
