They looked like a slightly mischievous version of the all-American couple, a handsome army veteran and his gorgeous artist girlfriend. Zackery Bowen, after completing his tour of duty in Iraq, came home to New Orleans and in the weeks before Hurricane Katrina, he met Addie Hall. Their improvised, hard-partying endurance during and after the storm inspired news outlets around the world to feature the couple as the personification of the indomitable spirit of New Orleans. But Addie had a long history of abuse that colored her world and everyone who entered it. And Zackery fell for Addie completely, until his personal demons, unleashed in the deserts of Iraq, combined with hers in a perfect storm of violence that shocked even rough-and-tumble New Orleans.
