Horace Longstreet operates the most brutal drug empire in the south. When he learns a young transporter known as the “Cat” has been skimming the profits, he enlists the aid of a former Pinkerton detective, now deep in the bottle and dying of tuberculosis.
Against his will, Tyrone Burke, must kill or capture the Cat, but the young offender leads the pursuer on a journey through the most dangerous and perverse opium dens, cat-houses and drug lairs in the 1880’s south.
In the end, however, is the Cat actually running for his life or has the hunted now become the hunter? A startling confrontation brings two forces of extreme evil face to face, gun to gun, and the results may change the entire direction of the future.
