Terror in the city of champions

In 1936 Detroit, baseball enthusiast Dayton Dean is arrested for murder. Despite his childlike intellect, Dean possesses a sharp memory and a desire for attention, leading him to reveal a secret Klan-like organization known as the Black Legion. This group is allegedly responsible for numerous murders, floggings, and fire bombings, with tens of thousands of members across the Midwest, including prominent figures. As Dean's revelations send shockwaves through the city, this historical work intertwines the terror of the Legion with Detroit's athletic rise, featuring notable figures of 1930s America.
