The only criminal he can't catch is himself. A rogue detective is as devoted to his job as he is at scoring drugs — while playing fast and loose with the law. He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun in order to get his way. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he becomes a high-functioning addict — a deeply intuitive, fearless detective reigning over the ruins of a once-beautiful New Orleans, with authority and abandon. Complicating his tumultuous life is the prostitute he loves. Together, they descend into their own world marked by desire, compulsion, and conscience. The result is a singular masterpiece of filmmaking: Equally sad and manically humourous.
