Christmas is coming and all is far from calm in Pointe
Judah, Louisiana. Newcomer Christian DeAngelo -- Angel to
his friends -- is at his wit's end trying to manage Sonny,
the hotheaded nineteen-year-old everyone believes is his
nephew. In fact, Sonny is the orphaned son of a notorious
mob boss, a protected witness . . . and Angel's responsibility.
Angel has been commiserating with Eileen Moggeridge, whose
lonely son Aaron has latched on to Sonny and gotten into
deeper trouble than ever. But nothing could prepare Angel
and Eileen for the boys' latest crisis: as they are horsing
around in the swamp one afternoon, a shot rings out. Aaron
is hit, but was the bullet meant for Sonny?
Suddenly, a goodwill toward men is in short supply and Angel
doesn't know who's more dangerous: the hoodoo mystic with an
eerie hold over the boys, the hit man roaming the bayou or
Eileen's volatile ex-husband, Chuck.
