Twenty-two years after the bombing of a Mississippi law office in which Marvin Kramer's two sons died, Klan member Sam Cayhill, the accused killer, has nearly exhausted his death row appeals, until young lawyer Adam Hall takes the case.

A Mississippi Klan member is accused of bombing the office of a civil rights activist. The first two trials result in a hung jury, but twelve years later a re-trial results in a death sentence. Years later, within weeks of the scheduled execution, a new lawyer requests to work on the case.
