Ben Corbett is a brilliant young lawyer in early-twentieth-century Washington DC. Yet he is a disappointment to his wife & father, who believe he wastes his talents by doing poorly-paid & thankless work helping the poor & downtrodden. One day, out of the blue, he receives a private invitation to the White House. President Theodore Roosevelt has personally selected Ben to help him investigate rumours of lynchings & a re-emergence of the outlawed Ku Klux Klan in Ben's own hometown of Eudora, Mississippi. Ben accepts the mission handed to him & is given the name of a man in Eudora who will help him in this covert operation
- the man's name is Abraham Cross, great-uncle of Alex. As Ben delves into the murky depths of racial hatred that hide beneath the surface of this seemingly sleepy Southern town, people become suspicious of what he is trying to do, & make it very clear to Ben what he is risking if he continues. Ben must decide if he is willing to lose old friends, his family, maybe even his life, for the cause he believes in. In his quest to bring about justice for the tortured & tormented black community of Eudora, Ben will have to take on the biggest, most difficult, & most dangerous trial of his life. But can one man fight an entire town, an entire state that is stuck in the past & willing to go to any lengths to halt change & the coming of a future that they desperately fear?
