Description

Former NYPD detective Charlie Parker, tormented by the brutal, unsolved murders of his wife and young daughter and driven by visions of the dead, tracks a serial killer from New York City to the American South. There, in the dark streets of New Orleans and the deadly moonlit bayous, Charlie finds his buried instincts -- for love, survival, and, ultimately, for killing -- reawakening as he confronts a monster beyond all imagining.
