When policeman Max O'Rouke first patrolled the Storyville red-light district in New Orleans, he fell for piano player Tommy LeBarre and Tommy fell for Max. During those two years, however, they never acted on their desires. After all, how could a cop and a piano player in a whorehouse ever be together?
But now, when Tommy's bordello is raided and he is left homeless and on the run from danger, Max is the only person who can protect him.
Someone wants Tommy dead, and Max will do anything, even kill, to protect his boy...
