It's 1962. A small town in the South is rocked by the brutal murder of Berndatte Willams, a "colored" Seventeen-year-old girl, who's been bludgeoned until nearly unrecognizable. The sheriff, Allen Walker, is an upstanding and well-respected man who is determined to get to the bottom of what might be the grisliest case of his career. However, as the crime unfolds, revealing prejudice, Racism, covered up abuse, and sexual philandering in and around the school, he begins to realize two things: one, there's such a hotbed of crime and immorality in the heart of his small town that if he doesn't root it out, it could destroy them all. And two, all the evidence points toward one suspect: his own daughter, Nancy, Berndatte's classmate and supposed friend. The town wants to cover this up, less concerned about a black girl's death than about ruffling feathers. Sheriff Walker is terrified the truth will destroy his family if he keeps pushing for answers-he can't uncover the cabal without exposing his daughter. If he quits now, he abandons a lifetime of intentional integrity and the town he loves as home. But if he keeps going, he might just be sacrificing his little girl's life.
