Abingdon, Alabama. 1956. A young black maid is found hanged from a tree. Lynched. Tied to her lifeless toes is a note: "NIGGERS DON'T DATE WHITES". In an otherwise quiet and civilized community, this brutal murder cracks in the peaceful façade. The status quo — or segregation — that keeps the townsfolk at ease is beginning to rupture.
