On a rainy morning in November 1942, Billy Bayou's mama dropped him off at the Catholic Boy's Home in New Orleans with promises to return soon, but Billy's mama never came back. Billy knew something bad had to have happened to her. As soon as he comes of age, Billy leaves the Boy's Home to search for his mama. Billy's quest takes him up the Mississippi River and deep into Louisiana's swampy parishes. As Billy gets closer to learning the dark truth about his mama's disappearance, he incites the vengeful fury of a local kingpin who wants long-buried secrets to stay that way and who will stop at nothing to make sure they do. But Billy is determined, staking his life on finding out what happened to his mama, once and for all.
