In New Orleans, archaeologist Faye Longchamp and her team of archaeologists are horrified when a corpse surfaces that's far too new to be an archaeological find. Faye and her fiancé Joe Wolf Mantooth are drawn into the investigation by a detective who believes their professional expertise is critical to the case.  They quickly learn that trouble swirled around the victim, Shelly Broussard, like winds around the still, quiet eye of a hurricane.  Does Shelly's heroic rescue work in the aftermath of Katrina the key to her death?  Or does the sheaf of photos in her work files hold the answer?
