Description:
On a Louisiana military base, racial tensions and secrets simmer. When a respected Black Master Sergeant is found shot outside the base, Captain Davenport, a determined lawyer from Washington, is sent to investigate. He faces resistance from his superiors and a fearful community, with even the soldiers hesitant to speak freely. Captain Davenport persists, uncovering a complex network of lies and questioning the loyalty of those in charge. As the truth emerges, the investigation reveals a dark side to a community grappling with its history.
