New Orleans Detective Nikki Mayeaux has decided it’s when a technicality sets a serial rapist free. Jaded and frustrated, this latest injustice brings her to a boiling point. She arrives at the monster’s home intending to end his reign of terror, only to find someone else got there first. His throat slit, his lifeless body left in the front seat of his car.
