The Purge has arrived, and New Orleans is destined to face its demise. In a world long after the destruction of electronic technology, the Bright Crusade reigns supreme as a fundamentalist Christian theocracy. Gabriel Troy, the Lord of Order for the New Orleans Principality, has dedicated years to safeguarding his city from the relentless attacks of the Crusades' enemies, the Troublers. These heretical guerillas reject the Crusades' rule and the church's strict doctrines. As a testament to their efforts, Troy and his deputies have successfully captured the Troublers' local leader, ensuring unprecedented security within the city. However, disturbing intelligence leaks from Washington reveal a chilling plan by Supreme Crusader Matthew Rook: to enact a Purge, the mass annihilation of anyone deemed a threat to the Crusade. Rook orders his forces to gather all individuals except the blindly loyal and march them toward New Orleans. Once the prisoners are confined within the city, the Crusaders will seal off the area and breach the levees, unleashing a devastating deluge reminiscent of the Biblical deluge of Noah's time and the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. Faced with an impending apocalypse that demands horrific choices, tests their faith, and forces them to align with their sworn enemies, Troy and five other conflicted conspirators prepare for battle. They are fully aware that the looming catastrophe will demand sacrifices and that they must unite with their former adversaries to confront the impending doom.
