s a married black couple,
Doris and
Shaun begin living their American
dream in the heart of the racist South
in the 1960s. Shaun, a successful
financier, and Doris, an educator, have
two children together. Like many
married couples, they find it tough to
juggle their career and family life,
while also confronting southern
culture’s pervasive racism. In time, Doris
suspects her husband could be having
an affair. He’s restless; distant. Worse,
Doris fears the dalliance may be with
a white woman, a race Doris despises.
Doris’ suspicions prove to be on
target. Shaun’s one-night fling with
Kathleen, a white woman, results in
the birth of a child. Before Doris can
confront her husband, she finds
Kathleen dead. The only witness is
Shaun and Kathleen’s traumatized
young daughter, Shauna, who doesn’t
remember what happened. Doris and
Shaun take in Shauna after the tragedy.
As she grows, however, her presence
causes family heartache. Still, the
question lingers: Who killed her mother?
When a videotape surfaces and the
truth is revealed, the answer to the
mystery sends shockwaves
throughout the whole of Atlanta.
Compelling and suspenseful,
