NOIR REBORN Los Angeles, 1945. Meet Charlie Dawson-an ex-con with a single goal-break with the past or die. Charlie Dawson spent World War II behind bars. Now he's back to face old friends and demons-Arthur Main, father figure and cold-blooded killer, Teresa Cruz, Charlie's ex-lover, now Main's personal property, and Sarah, a wounded mountain lion with a taste for revenge. "Night and the Cat" takes you from the old Hollywood jungle, its kings and fringe-dwellers, to the towering Sierras on one man's quest for redemption in the hands of nature.
