A tense, morally urgent drama about how a demagogue exploits racial fear and prejudice in a small Southern town, igniting violence and chaos he cannot contain.

A man in a gleaming white suit comes to a small Southern town on the eve of integration. He calls himself a social reformer. But what he does is stir up trouble--trouble he soon finds he can't control.
