A murder mystery quietly unfolds during a seemingly peaceful
morning in Corinth, Missouri in 1923. Police Chief James Buckner is
called away from his office to investigate the death of a prominent
local businessman whose lifeless body has just been found. Several
miles away, a black man is discovered lynched and in his pocket is
a warning from the Ku Klux Klan. The Roaring 20s is a time when
racial turmoil abounds in America. In Corinth, the black community,
led by gambler and saloon keeper Elroy Dutton, are arming
themselves for protection. Meanwhile, federal agent Joel Casterline
is hot on the trail of local moonshiners, word leaks out that a
gang of bank robbers is headed for Corinth, and someone is sending
nasty Christmas cards to local widows. Chief Buckner becomes
overwhelmed as the town government demands he stifle local crime,
but simultaneously questions his decision to hire black police
officers. To top it off, a group of local businessmen believes
Buckner should enforce moral conduct and the county sheriff has his
eye on a seat in the state legislature instead of on helping
Buckner. Chief Buckner and his inexperienced police force must
somehow find their way out of a dangerous crossfire that could
leave Corinth's future in jeopardy.
