As the early morning sun shines down on a new day in New Orleans, Lead Detective Nikolas Davis along with Det. Darling and Sgt. Barrere respond to a call for a deceased male found beaten and sexually assaulted in an industrial parking lot. He quickly acquires the most gruesome surveillance footage he’s ever witnessed but is unable to positively identify the perpetrator based on the video alone. After days of unsuccessful canvassing for additional footage and a lead that takes him down the wrong path, Detective Davis feels pressured to solve the case and get the person responsible off the street before they strike again. Meanwhile, Detective Jameson Diesburg responds to the scene of a vehicular homicide where a young woman was brutally run over by an SUV.
