Billy Atkins is a young neophyte sheriff who stumbles into a pit of Mafia murder and political corruption in The Morello Family: Wave of Carnage. Carlos Morello is the boss of the Louisiana Mafia. John McClellan is the the state's governor, drowning in a swirl of evil influences. Nita LeClaire is the governor's assistant who serves as Billy's guide to Louisiana's politics and amorphous public morality. She is also frustratingly in love with Billy. Patty Phelps is Billy's hauntingly beautiful, bluntly strong and too much fun to miss out on girlfriend. The story unfolds in the lush cultures and unique geography of 1970s Louisiana.
