Nic and Weston Cage's Voodoo Child is about the son of a New Orleans plantation owner who is almost killed by Confederates in the 19th century but kept in stasis via voodoo magic until he's revived right after Hurricane Katrina hit the city. Immediately after coming back, the kid stumbles upon a meeting between mobsters and the corrupt businessmen in charge of rebuilding the city and kills a bunch of them because he just instinctively knows they're bad.
