In the still-segregated town of West Mills, North Carolina in 1976, three enigmatic siblings are found shot to death in their home. The crime is the first reported murder in the area in decades, but the white authorities don't seem to have any interest in solving the case - except for Ms. Jo Wright. As Jo begins to investigate those who might know the most about the Harmons' deaths, she starts to discover darker secrets than she'd ever imagined, and a pattern of cover ups - of racial incidents, homophobia, and medical misuse - that could upend the reputations of many.
