In 1933 East Texas, the Great Depression casts a long shadow. When young Harry Collins and his sister discover the brutally murdered body of a Black woman, their small town is gripped by fear and racial tension. As a second body, this time a white woman's, is found, Harry races against his prejudiced neighbors to uncover the true killer before an innocent man is lynched. He and his sister must search for a truth that runs deeper than any river or skin color.
