Two FBI agents investigating the murder of civil rights workers during the 60s seek to breach the conspiracy of silence in a small Southern town where segregation divides black and white. The younger agent trained in FBI school runs up against the small town ways of his partner, a former sheriff.
An old-school lawman with a chip on his shoulder clashes violently with his idealistic rookie partner amidst the suffocating tension of the Jim Crow South. This investigation into a missing civil rights group unearths a terrifying wall of silence that refuses to break.
