Terrence Howard and Esai Morales team up to catch a serial killer in the new thriller Crescent City.
The plot follows Brian Sutter (Howard) and Luke Carson (Morales) as police detectives trying to track a killer in a small southern town. Pressure mounts when three people are similarly killed in two months and there are still no leads.
Things become even more challenging with the arrival of detective Jaclyn Waters (played by Nicky Whelan). Her ways of tracking criminals are morally questionable, and at this point, everyone is a suspect, even police officers.

Along with Howard, Morales, and Whelan, Crescent City stars Alec Baldwin as police Captain Howell.
The Lionsgate film is directed by RJ Collins.
Collins made his directorial debut in 2021 with the Danny Trejo-led action movie American Sicario. His second film, the vampire comedy, Don’t Suck was released in 2023.
The producers of the new thriller are Denise Loren, Eduard Osipov, Vince Jolivette, David Lipper, and Robert A. Daly Jr.
The roles of Sutter and Carson can’t be too hard for Howard and Morales. The two are no strangers to playing authority figures in their decades-long Hollywood careers.
Howard starred as prosecutor Jonah “Joe” Dekker in Law & Order: LA and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. He also starred as Sheriff Arnold Pope in the mystery/sci-fi series, Wayward Pines.
In the early 2000s, Morales starred as Lieutenant Tony Rodriguez in NYPD Blue. He later had similar roles in Chicago P.D., NCIS: Los Angeles, and Criminal Minds.
Crescent City will be released in theaters, digital and on-demand this Friday, Aug. 16.
