A taut, noir-inflected thriller built on the dread of a plague-carrying killer loose in New Orleans, where public health stakes collide with criminal underworld danger.

A medical examiner discovers that an innocent shooting victim in a robbery died of bubonic plague. With only 48 hours to find the killer, who is now a ticking time bomb threatening the entire city, a grisly manhunt through the seamy underworld of the New Orleans Waterfront is underway.
