A seasoned hitman in New Orleans teams up with a young Washington D.C. detective following two murders that are seemingly unconnected. The unlikely allies are brought together by their mutual desire for answers and justice, though they come from opposite sides of the law. Their investigation leads them on a path of vengeance and reveals a conspiracy that places them in the crosshairs of their enemies.

As they dig deeper, the duo finds themselves up against a formidable adversary, a mercenary ex-military operative. With corruption spreading through the ranks of those they encounter, trust becomes a scarce commodity. Forced to confront their own moral codes, they must navigate a treacherous underworld where the line between friend and foe is blurred. The city's backdrop becomes a battleground where allegiances shift rapidly, and survival is far from guaranteed.
