It's 1994 and somebody is killing and robbing drug dealers in The Big Easy. When DEA agent Richard Holliday is called out to a marsh outside of New Orleans to the scene of a shootout where two local cocaine dealers have been murdered, he has no idea of what he is about to step into. For these are no ordinary murders and no ordinary suspects. Holliday soon finds himself juggling two important investigations, supervisor problems, and a failing personal relationship, all at the same time.

The murders soon tie into another investigation, one that will have much more serious consequences for Holliday and for Gina Tiburzi, an FBI agent who he teams up with, in a chase that goes from New Orleans to Baltimore. With neither one of them trusting the other in the beginning, in the end, they find that the only people they can really trust are each other.

Set in the relatively low tech world of 1994, see what the drug trade was really like to work for the men and women of the DEA and why the agents who worked these cases quickly learned: Don't Expect Anything.
