In Part 1, Catfish left Sammy a deeply unsettling clue connected to the Beaucoeur family's slave-holding legacy. Now, in Part 2, with a monster storm taking aim at the city, Sammy frantically continues his quest. His partner is this effor is Lee Ann, Catfish's childhood best friend, who transports Sammy back to 1976, and earlier, the years that formed the haunted figure Sammy has come to love, but not necessarily know.
