Synopsis by Jinko Labitag

As a museum dedicated to the Ku Klux Klan opens in his small South Carolina town, Reverend Kennedy (Forest Whitaker) promises to neutralize the racial tension that arises as a result of this development. Things become more difficult when his congregation finds out that he will be giving shelter to Mike Burden (Garrett Hedlund), an orphan raised as a Klansman who's currently trying to detach himself from the Klan. The two men find themselves in direct opposition to a cunning KKK leader, endangering their families' lives. Written and directed by Andrew Heckler.
