A girl is attacked and the wrong man murdered. Are the rapist and murderer the same depraved individual or is the murder a simple revenge killing gone awry? Or are both incidents part of a wider conspiracy in which everyone in this Louisiana parish has a distinctly bloody hand?

British photographer Matt Henry’s latest project, titled Born on the Bayou, plays with the traditional crime genre of American fiction.
