Detective Joseph Savary is investigating the murder of a grocery store worker on Felicity Street in New Orleans. In the security footage of the murder, a man shoots the worker and then snags two candy bars on his way out. Savary is back in the neighborhood again, and he talks to the same people he's talked to before; none of them tell him anything at all about the murder. Savary believes no one is saying anything because they are protecting someone in the neighborhood. Savary's sergeant Jodie arrives in the neighborhood and doesn't get anywhere with her interviews, either. Savary's attention is on a young man named Oris Lamont, who has been in and out of prison for most of his life. Savary brings a mugshot of Lamont as well as the security footage of the murder to his friend Elvin Bishop at the FBI, who has the two pieces of media analyzed; Savary is told that there's a ninety-seven percent chance that the man in the photo is the same man in the security footage who murdered the store worker. Oris Lamont is brought in for an interview, but he says nothing very useful. Savary obtains a search warrant and arrives at Lamont's house. He finds a gun and two candy wrappers hidden under Lamont's bed. The evidence is analyzed and Lamont's fingerprint is found on one of the gun's cartridges. Additionally, the candy bar lot numbers match up with the missing ones from the grocery store. Savary and Jodie meet with Bishop again, and ask that he and the FBI look into misprision of a felony — the fact that an entire neighborhood was actively hiding this crime from the police. As Savary and Jodie leave, they agree this won't work — the New Orleans police is fighting not just criminals, but the entire world, it seems.
