A Los Angeles detective is sent to New Orleans to trace the origin of a new, heavily addictive killer drug. When he is killed in a bizarre voodoo murder, his partner (Anthony Edwards) is sent to investigate. While there, he teams up with an ex-cop (Lance Henriksen), one of the few people able to guide him through the swamps of the Louisiana Delta to the source of both the drug and the killing. ~ John Bush, Rovi
