Spoilers ahead
In Algiers, New Orleans, an unfortunate incident unfolds when a ferry, transporting sailors from the USS Nimitz along with their families during a Mardi Gras celebration, suffers a devastating explosion, resulting in 543 casualties. The lonely ATF agent Doug Carlin (Denzel Washington) is called to investigate this heinous act of terrorism. During his inquiry, he learns from Sheriff Reed (John McConnell) about the body of a woman named Claire Kuchever (Paula Patton), which has mysteriously washed ashore. Strikingly, her corpse, discovered an hour prior to the explosion, is burned and shares similarities with the blast’s explosive residue. This revelation leads the team to suspect that her death was intricately orchestrated to appear as a part of the explosion, yet her body arrived prematurely.
