1962, Leesville, Louisiana. Four white deputies come across an elderly black couple in a small diner. The couple are local champions of the civil rights movement. It is no chance encounter. Words are exchanged, their deadly intent clear, but they can't stop the truth from being confirmed before gunfire ends it. For fifty years the three surviving killers maintain the cover up. But truth has a way of coming out. A small life is saved, an older one lost, and the why of it is revealed to one of the shooters. God's hard truth shatters a lifetime of prejudice and the old man is changed forever. He has a new mission to make things right, to account for his terrible wrong on the long ago afternoon. He reaches out to Alex and challenges him to hear the truth about his grandparents. After that, the old man will turn himself in to face judgment. Alex had best come quick, though, because there are others who don't want the truth exposed. And they'll kill to make certain of it.
