Investigating the turn-of-the-century murder of her great-great aunt, a woman stumbles upon an explosive secret that hints at her own family's involvement in decades of racially-charged murders. More than a crime investigation, this documentary takes an uncensored look at a community trying desperately to bury its racist past.
