A slick heist job descends into voodoo horror.
A crime lord known only as the Captain has a job for the best heist crew in Louisiana: break into the long-abandoned Fontenot plantation deep in the Teche bayou and walk out with five thousand Confederate gold coins. The catch is they'll need a sorcerer to get past the spells protecting the treasure, and it is a job no self-respecting Vodoun practitioner would ever take.
Hatch is a low-rent voodoo influencer running a one-man hustle out of a beat-up camper van and is just the sort of loser they need. The heist crew, with Hatch dragged along at gunpoint, hit the plantation with speed and skill. What they find waiting for them is more than a chest of gold. Seven hand-made dolls filled with dark power wake up thirsty for blood, one for each of the crew.
Who will survive the night? Who will catch the curse?
