About
In a rural town in Louisiana, a black Master Sergeant is found shot to death just outside the local Army Base. Military lawyer, Captain Davenport—also a black man—is sent from Washington to conduct an investigation. Facing an uncooperative chain of command and fearful black troops, Davenport must battle with deceit and prejudice in order to find out exactly who really did kill the Master Sergeant.
A black military lawyer must navigate a wall of silence and systemic prejudice to solve the murder of a fellow soldier in rural Louisiana. This tense courtroom drama exposes the fractured loyalties within a segregated army.
