Synopsis

Summer, 1955: During one of the most brutal heat waves in recent memory, Sam leaps into a sheriff in small-town Oklahoma. A young white woman has been viciously murdered, and the only suspect is black--an honest man who stands to lose everything if convicted. Sam must move fast to prove the man's innocence--while keeping the peace in a town about to be torn apart by racial violence. Meanwhile, the real killer is watching Sam's every move.
