In 1961 New Orleans, Eve is a young woman who was raised in a nunnery after becoming an orphan at a young age. A priest in training, Peter, and she have become close friends since he arrived as a child. Their mentors, Sister Abbie and Father Connor, respectively, notice a budding love growing between the two. However, that is a problem for another day. Father Connor and Peter are on their way to California to heal a possessed woman. Father Connor fears that he has encountered this particular demon before, along with Sister Abbie, over ten years ago. While the exorcism is successful, they have to destroy the demon once and for all. Only Peter has a certain connection to it and falls for the temptation of learning the truth about how he became an orphan all those years ago. Consequently, the demon becomes a passenger on his way back to New Orleans. And it is all too eager to use vulnerable people to wreak havoc in its wake. Hell’s Cargo by Michelle Garza and Melissa Lason is a splatter western story that explores how even the most devout people will do whatever it takes to rid the world of evil – even if it means the road to salvation is paved with debauchery and murder.
