When Detective Coby Drake is called to the Cinema Direct theater on 9th Street, the scene doesn't seem any different from others he had worked during his career. It was when theater deaths began to increase around the city of New Orleans and the common factor between them all was the discovery of inoperable cell phones near the victims that tested his skills as a detective.

Coby, a tough NOPD officer who loves his job, has seen his share of crime, but this time is different somehow. Could the deaths be merely coincidence or could it be something more sinister in the making?

His obsession with the case takes a twisted turn after the death of someone close to him. Does Coby live up to the oath he had taken years ago when becoming a police officer, or does it cause him to be just like the many criminals he had arrested over the years?
