Premise

Season 1: Michael Desiato is a prominent and respected New Orleans judge.

Michael decides to protect his son, igniting a dangerous game of lies, secrets, and difficult choices with tragic and fatal consequences.

Season 2: After the events of Season 1, Michael moves on to try to finally put an end to the mob that has ruined the lives of so many. Meanwhile, an enemy of the mob, a drug cartel known as the Desire Gang, makes its move, which risks causing past truths to come to light.
