The story is set in New Orleans and follows Chance Boudreaux, played by Jean-Claude Van Damme, a down-on-his-luck merchant marine who becomes embroiled in a deadly game.

Fouchon and his team are willing to pay a high price for the thrill of hunting human prey, and they are well-equipped and ruthless in their pursuit.
