If the BP engine oil spill devastates the Gulf Shoreline, those who made a full time income by shrimping end up in dire straits. For the oddballs and lowlifes who inhabit the sleepy, working-class bayou town of Jeannette, these needy circumstances serve as the catalyst that pushes those to enact whatever risky techniques they can dream up to change their fortunes. At the guts of it all is Gus Lindquist, a pill-addicted, one-armed treasure hunter enthusiastic about locating the lost treasure of pirate Jean Lafitte. His pursuit brings him into connection with several memorable characters, ranging from a couple of small-time criminal potheads susceptible to hysterical banter to the smooth-talking oil-company middleman out to bamboozle his own mother for some drug-smuggling psychopath twins to a young man estranged from his father since his mother perished in Hurricane Katrina. As the storyline progresses, these individuals find themselves on a collision course with each other, and as the strain and action crank up, it becomes clear that not all of them will make it through these events.
