Plot summary

New Orleans, Louisiana Detective Wes Block (Clint Eastwood) is leading an investigation into a killer who is raping and murdering women. His enquiries lead him into the seedy side of town where he is no stranger off-duty. All of this contrasts with his home life as a single parent with two young girls. Then on the case, he meets Rape Services Counselor Beryl Thibodeaux (Geneviève Bujold), with whom a relationship possibly offering some normalcy starts to develop.—Jeremy Perkins {J-26}
