New Orleans, Louisiana. The Mardi Gras revelry was interrupted early this morning when Shelby McCammon, daughter of the senior United States Senator from Louisiana, was found dead in her home, victim of an apparent self inflicted gun shot. This terrible tragedy comes on the third anniversary of the suicide of her own mother and only weeks after Senator McCammon won a bitterly contested reelection to the United States Senate in what many are calling the ugliest political campaign in recent history. The FBI has assumed control of the investigation but would not comment. NOLA News Radio.

It is not only his father that he must face at the funeral but also his former fiancee Brittany (ASHLEY LAURENCE, "Hell Raiser 1, ll, lll," "Cupid"). Before he can speak to her, his very eccentric and menacing cousin, Colin McCammon, (BRAD DOURIF, Academy Award nominee for "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest," "Mississippi Burning," "Alien: Resurrection") intercepts him and insists that they must urgently speak. They are interrupted by two FBI agents who suggest to Beau that they supect that his sister's death may have been murder. Devasted and confused by this information, Beau goes to Brittany's apartment in the French Quarter to share with her what the FBI agents told him. She dismisses the FBI agent's allegations. She believes that the FBI agents are on the opposing political party's payroll and are simply attempting to discredit the Senator in an attempt to have his election overturned.

Later, after reviewing the police report and his sister's will, Beau is convinced that her death was murder and that the motive was to gain control of his sister's $18 million trust. But who had the motive: the FBI? his cousin Collin? What follows is a suspenseful heart racing chase through the steamy streets of the French Quarter and the alligator filled bayous . . . a riveting thriller of murder, conspiracy and the ultimate betrayal that will keep you guessing until the very surprise ending.
