Murdered on Bourbon Street in 1942 New Orleans, a gangster returns from the dead 34 years later... possessing the body of a young, black law student in his quest for revenge.

A man takes part in a hypnotist's nightclub act but gets more than he bargained for when he's possessed by the spirit of a vengeful 1940s mobster.

The story begins in New Orleans in 1942, with black crime kingpin J.D. Walker (David McKnight) shot dead on Bourbon Street. Cut to the present when clean-cut college student Ike (Glynn E. Turman) falls under the malevolent influence of the ghostly gangster. As he begins to exhibit J.D.'s boisterous, violent traits, Ike seeks out a local minister (Louis Gossett, Jr.) to exact his revenge.
