Synopsis

In the small, southern town of Cotton City, Mississippi, during the late 1940s and early 1950s, a love triangle takes a dark turn when one friend is accused of murdering the other. The ensuing trial exposes the hidden vices and true characters of the town's residents. Beneath the surface of respectability, figures like a wife abuser, an alcoholic doctor, and a politically-driven sheriff reveal their human weaknesses in the shadows of night.
