A veteran New Orleans hitman forms an unlikely alliance with a by-the-book Washington D.C. detective after both their partners are murdered by the same killer. Their investigation reveals a widespread conspiracy of corruption that leads to a powerful and well-connected businessman. The mismatched duo uses their very different methods to navigate the city's criminal underworld and deliver their own brand of justice.
