Rheinhardt, a cynical drifter, gets a job as an announcer for right-wing radio station WUSA in New Orleans.

Rheinhardt finds his cynical detachment challenged by a lady friend, Geraldine, and by Rainey, a neighbour and troubled idealist who becomes aware of WUSA's sinister, hidden purpose. And when events start spinning out of control, even Rheinhardt finds he must take a stand.
