These murders aren’t just brutal—they’re personal. The killer’s signature? A twisted gumbo recipe left behind, hinting at a conspiracy no one is prepared to face.

Detective Lenny Thompson, a seasoned homicide investigator with the NOPD, is called to the case. Hardened by years of violence and corruption, he’s the only one who sees through the chaos. But when the FBI steps in and takes over, Lenny finds himself navigating not just a killer’s twisted game, but a political power struggle that could derail everything.
