A 60’s civil rights pioneer, Medgar Evers, is gunned down in his driveway one Mississippi night, while his wife, Myrlie and her children watch him die in their arms. To add insult to injury, the white supremacist assassin arrogantly walks free. Twenty-five years later, prosecutor Bobby DeLaughter re-investigates this “impossible” case at the request of Myrlie and much to the disapproval of his boss and many others.
