Jerome Duplesis, a mild-mannered business professional, is adjusting from a temporary loss. But his life spirals out of control when he is wrongly arrested and convicted. Jerome refuses to become victim-minded and draws on the strength of family and wise counsel of fellow prisoners to survive the notorious Orleans Parish Prison.

Jeannette Plaisance is an attractive, strong-willed, sharp detective on the trail of a serial killer. The victims are young Black males viciously murdered during the city’s skyrocketing homicide rate, so no one notices the killer’s pattern. Before Jeannette can stop the killer’s master plan, she has to fight racism and sexism in the good-old-boy police department. How she wins is a lesson for every woman.
