Plot: 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.
