Plot Synopsis

CAJUN JUSTICE follows the detectives and deputies of the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office, as they serve and protect over 2,000 square miles of treacherous swampland in Southern Louisiana -- 45 miles south of New Orleans. With the fiery personalities of the local Cajuns and the Louisiana justice system unlike any other -- it's the only state that is ruled under Napoleonic law -- there's no such thing as an ordinary police call. Whether it's a creepy sighting of the Rougarou ("shape-shifting swamp monster"), a distressed neighbor reporting a stolen air conditioner during a heat wave, or a lead on a gruesome local serial-killer case, the deeper into the sticky swampland the deputies delve, the stranger and more mysterious the calls become. Sheriff Vernon Bourgeois Jr., a former oil man, runs the department with extraordinary power, and like all sheriffs in Louisiana, no one can arrest him except the coroner, dead or alive.
