A cross is burned in the yard of two black Lakeside University
students. When campus officials call the incident a harmless prank,
both black and white student organizations, launch a series of
protests to force the administration into conducting a full
investigation. Instead, the administration devises a divide and
conquer scheme to create a rift between black and white students.
As black students turn up the pressure, the campus stands on the
verge of a racial explosion. Campus leaders must find a way out of
the crisis so they seek the help of Dr. Wendell Oliver, the
country's leading expert in diffusing racial tension. Dr. Oliver
takes the feuding students on a weekend retreat filled with action,
danger, sexual attraction and racial conflict. He helps students
look beyond themselves and discover the secret behind the cross
burning. They learn that the cross burning is more than just about
racism. Its wicked flames shed light on corrupt cops, complicit
college administrators and misguided attitudes that point to a
major cover up. When students piece the puzzle together, justice is
finally served, but it comes with a steep price. Lakeside
University will never be the same again.
