## Resource

A decade long investigation of the contract killing of a married couple in Biloxi Mississippi, who happens to be a circuit court judge and a mayoral candidate, turns to a local criminal organization known as the Dixie Mafia. But as many of the culprits are convicted and jailed on other charges the murders remain unsolved and the mastermind, Peter Halat, is elected mayor. The threat of additional charges against one of the convicts pressures him to disclose the truth about the murders implicating Halat and his hitman.
