Single mother Kelly O'Connor has come to New Orleans in search of a fresh start for herself and her twelve-year-old son, Brandon. But trouble is brewing behind the scenes for this dark-eyed beauty-for unbeknownst to Kelly, her new boss is none other than Saul Clubman, a notorious gangster who controls the city's massive drug trade. Oil tycoon Reid Matthews is also looking for a new start. Tired of the ugliness of the world, he wants nothing more than to retire to the peacefulness of the Comancheria, his ranch in the Texas Hill Country. But when Reid discovers that his company, Tidal Wave Drilling, has ties to Clubman and his illegal operations, he finds himself drawn into a mystery with violent consequences. When Reid saves Kelley and her son from Clubman's hitman and takes them to the Comancheria, Clubman follows with an army of thugs and killers. Will Reid be able to protect his home and loved ones from the violent Clubman?"
