Between 2005 and 2007, the bodies of four young women are discovered in and around the town of Jennings, Louisiana, deep in the heart of Cajun country. All four women were poor drug users and engaged in the local sex trade.

The more time reporter Ethan Brown spends in Jennings, the clearer it becomes that it's not the work of a serial killer at all. Members of the law enforcement community have ties to the case, victims, and initial suspect, Frankie Richard.
