Terence McDonagh, detektiv iz New Orleansa, med divjanjem orkana Katrina reši zapornika iz narasle vode. Zaradi hrabrosti ga povišajo v poročnika, toda zaradi poškodbe hrbta se znajde v začaranem krogu mamil. Zaradi neobvladljive odvisnosti počasi začne prestopati meje zakona, zaradi športnih stav pa zabrede v velike dolgove. Ljubezen do dekleta, ki se ukvarja s prostitucijo, mu nakoplje zamero vplivnega mestnega veljaka ter brezkompromisne izsiljevalce.
After Katrina, police sergeant Terence McDonagh rescues a prisoner, hurts his back in the process and earns a promotion to lieutenant plus an addiction to cocaine and painkillers. Six months later, a family is murdered over drugs; Terence runs the investigation. His drug-using prostitute girlfriend, his alcoholic father's dog, run-ins with two old women and a well-connected john, gambling losses, a nervous young witness, and thefts of police property put Terence's job and then his life in danger. He starts seeing things. He wants a big score to get out from under mounting debts, so he joins forces with drug dealers. The murders remain unsolved. A bad lieutenant gets worse.
