Samuel Oakman uses the cover of darkness to carry out his mission.
It is 1934, and the night is dark. The June 1934 Ku Klux Klan
meeting takes place in a room above Kahn's Saloon. Young Samuel is
the lone Negro to attend secretly. As he learns the posse's plan
for the nights cross burning, he forges his counter-plan. In order
to accomplish his mission he must enlist a close friend. Sammy
forces his white childhood friend, Gabriel Summers, out of a fitful
sleep, and with subtle coercion persuades Gabe to follow him into
the East Texas bayous. Gabe follows the death march with terrible
consequences if Samuel's plan fails. With the aid of his Gramps
eight-gauge shotgun, Sammy stops the raid with greater than wished
for results. The duel blasts from the shotgun severely injures
Samuel, forcing Gabe to assist him to escape. There is no exit
strategy-a critical failure of the plan. Samuel's tactics returns
them to town and possible discovery, but Gabe intervenes and leads
them to safety. Samuel forgot a critical part of the plan-now they
must escape the Posse.
