When an esteemed black Master Sergeant is discovered shot dead just outside its gates, Captain Davenport—a resolute military lawyer from Washington—is dispatched to unravel the truth behind this chilling murder. As he embarks on his investigation, Davenport confronts a wall of silence from his superiors and a community gripped by fear; the very troops under his purview are reluctant to speak up against injustice. Undeterred by these challenges, the determined Captain delves into an intricate web of lies and deceit that permeates through the ranks, questioning the motives and loyalty of those entrusted with preserving order. Amidst a backdrop where the line between ally and enemy becomes increasingly blurred, Davenport's unwavering pursuit of truth ultimately exposes the sinister underbelly of a society struggling to come to terms with its own dark past.
