Synopsis
Dave Robicheau, a former New Orleans cop and Vietnam veteran, now works as a sheriff's deputy in rural Louisiana. When a young woman named Trish Klein arrives and begins a dangerous game with a local mobster, Robicheau is pulled into a case from his own past — the death of Trish's father, a fellow veteran, decades earlier. Alongside his partner Clete Purcel, Robicheau must untangle a decades-old conspiracy of violence and betrayal before it consumes everyone involved.
