Synopsis

When a series of brutal murders plague a rural Mississippi town, two detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive to find unexpected resistance from local authorities and racist townsfolk. Each crime scene presents a chilling puzzle: a second dead body resembling Emmett Till. As eerily similar killings surface nationwide, the detectives suspect retribution and uncover a buried history that refuses to stay hidden.
