  • Angela Bassett and Danny Glover lead a celebrated cast including Julia Stiles, Adam Baldwin and Giancarlo Esposito in this riveting tale about a decades-old murder mystery and a town struggling to overcome the ghosts of its tormented past. In the town of Julia, prejudice is still an unspoken part of life thirty years after the assassination of a beloved civil rights leader. And his son, John (Glover), has learned to live with the memory of the unsolved murder and the town's thin veneer of peace. As dissension threatens to tear the community apart, an explosive revelation forces John to act... and to choose between forgiveness and renewed hatred.
