The lives of an undefeated boxer and a former hitman intermingle on the corrupt and sinful streets of New Orleans as they join forces to save the they love city and the people in it from cataclysm

(Spoiler alert)

Uh, given the way natural events played out in 2005, they failed, didn't they?

What could any mere mortals have done to save The Big Easy from the hurricane? I just don't understand what the story is.

Interesting; personally, I would specify that this is during Katrina, it is something people can picture, rather than any old cataclysm.

the boxer is physically the alpha and the hitman is mentally the alpha. And yes the cataclysm is Katrina.
