Welcome to New Orleans, Louisiana, circa 1980: a vibrant city of music, food, and magic. Neon lights flicker in dirty puddles up and down Bourbon street; the innovations of the modern world clash with ancient and terrible traditions; and murder is never simple. The Beaumont Agency, staffed with a roster of brilliant, colorful, and ultimately flawed private investigators, specializes in solving cases that no one else can crack.

Thirteen year old Susanna has disappeared without a trace and the NOPD are powerless to find her. A band of misfits, brought together by their connections to Susanna, will do what the police cannot and bring her home!

While not investigators themselves, this group congregates around "The Alligator" club and have seen the dark and magical underbelly of New Orleans with their own eyes. They also know that Susanna might well be connected to the arcane as she is no ordinary teenager.

With Susanna's life on the line, the stakes will be higher and more personal than ever.
