Cow Bayou

Set in the quiet depths of Cow Bayou, a town steeped in secrets and betrayal, Coleman Carey harbors a desperation akin to the simmering Louisiana sun. His wife, the mysterious Amelia Hawkins, lies comatose following a tragic accident, her presence haunting every facet of his existence.

With the calculated precision of a gambler, Coleman conspires alongside three unconventional women on society's fringe—a seductress skilled in poisons, a preacher's daughter with a hidden dark side, and a cunning ex-convict nursing old wounds. Together, they scheme to execute the heist of a lifetime: $35 million tucked away in accounts meant for Amelia's care.

As the suffocating Bayou heat intensifies, tensions rise and loyalties strain. Each member of Coleman's makeshift crew bears scars, physical and emotional, exploited expertly by Cow Bayou's unforgiving grasp.

Karma spins a tale where the boundary between salvation and damnation blurs, and the sins of yesteryear demand their long-awaited reckoning.
