Mardi Gras Massacre

In the sweltering heat of New Orleans, the city pulses with music, neon and the promise of Mardi Gras, a celebration that blurs the line between revelry and chaos. Beneath the dazzling parades and street parties, an uneasy undercurrent runs through the French Quarter, where every shadow seems to hide a secret and every smile could mask a threat. The atmosphere feels both intoxicating and foreboding, as if the very streets are holding their breath for something darker to surface before the festivities reach their climax.

Sergeant Frank Hebert and his partner Sergeant Mayer are tasked with a case that threatens to tarnish the city’s most beloved holiday. Assigned to investigate a series of unsettling ritual murders targeting women, they find themselves under pressure from superiors who fear bad publicity could jeopardize the upcoming celebrations. Their investigation pulls them into the neon-lit world of nightclubs, back‑alley bars, and the tangled lives of those who live on the fringe, forcing them to balance duty with the gritty realities of a city that never truly sleeps.

Across town, a dapper, enigmatic stranger moves through the same nocturnal haunts with an unsettling calm. John drifts from dimly lit bars to the corners of the French Quarter, his presence marked by an unsettling charisma that both intrigues and unnerves those he encounters. He seems to glide between the glitter of the festivities and the shadows of something far more primal, hinting at a purpose that aligns disturbingly with the police’s growing dread.

As the detectives navigate the city’s intoxicating blend of decadence and danger, they are drawn into a complex web of personal connections, fleeting alliances, and hidden motives. A streetwise woman with a heart of gold offers a glimpse of humanity amidst the gloom, while the looming threat of the ritual murders hangs like a dark cloud over the impending celebrations. The stage is set for a tense cat‑and‑mouse chase through a city where the line between carnival and carnage is perilously thin.
