SYNOPSIS

 Jack (Nathan Grubbs) seems to have a charmed life. He's attained his youthful dream of being a river pilot, a well-regarded position in the river life of New Orleans - comparable to royalty. Among his possessions, Jack revels in his money, esteem, nice home and car, and finally, a woman he can call his own.

Although Jack's contentment is real, he is still haunted and, eventually, overwhelmed by his painful past, further exasperated from the bond with one of his close friends, Matty (Alex Petrovitch). Can the love Jack finds with his beautiful wife, Gabrielle (Gabrielle Sfardini), rescue him from the demons that send him spiraling into the New Orleans underworld and into the hands of his enemies? If Lars (Ed Zajac), powerful shipping magnet and Jack's jealous rival, and Dickie (Charles Allen), king of the New Orleans drug-world, have their way, then Jack will fall prey to his own devices.

Jack's redemption hinges upon the ultimate test of willpower and inner strength to conquer his drug-induced depravity. Take a ride as Jack discerns what matters, what is real, and who he can really trust. With danger and temptation enveloping him, Jack's life depends on making the right decision.
