Banquet in New Orleans
About
A young immigrant arrives in New Orleans to complete a mysterious delivery — and becomes entangled in a world of desire, power, and hidden alliances. He falls in love with a top model who, despite her feelings, is the sugar baby of one of the city's most powerful men: "The Cook," a refined restaurateur who gathers the elite under the sound of jazz and silent agreements.
When a murder takes place inside the restaurant, the fragile balance of influence begins to collapse. The investigation draws in a detective with ties to the militia, while a well-connected fashion designer — the son of a general — operates behind the scenes as the city's true fixer.
As musicians, outsiders, and enigmatic figures move through New Orleans in search of fame and meaning, the lines between ambition, illusion, and control begin to blur. In this city, every banquet hides a secret — and some banquets end in blood.
