Synopsis
Ray Shane is an ex-New Orleans vice cop who just finished a five-year stretch in federal prison for corruption. Now he's back home in the Big Easy and looking to stay out of trouble. But trouble is exactly what he gets when four masked gunmen rob the House of the Rising Sun, the mob-owned illegal gambling hall and brothel where Shane is in charge of security. On their way out the door, the gunmen also blow away the mentally handicapped adult nephew of the New Orleans Mafia boss. Now Shane has to find the killers, but as he tracks them down one by one he relearns an old lesson--in New Orleans nothing is ever what it seems.
