In the town of Julia, South Carolina, the residents of the neighborhood of Gospel Hill are being forced out of their homes to make way for a multimillion-dollar development.

Race relations are strained just as they were thirty years ago when Peter Malcolm (Samuel L.

Jackson), a black civil rights activist, was assassinated.

Dr Ron Palmer (Giancarlo Esposito), an influential black community leader who runs the emergency clinic in Gospel Hill, is supporting the development through the prism of his own vision of success, while simultaneously being responsible for driving people from the homes they have lived in for generations.

Peter Malcolm's brother, John Malcolm (Danny Glover), who withdrew from the community and the fight for civil rights after his brother's assassination, is haunted by the pain of what happened, and has given up the fight.

Meanwhile, the town's bigoted former sheriff, who was responsible for letting the investigation of Peter's murder dissipate with no one charged, is facing his own mortality and has his own choices and hatreds to reflect on.

Sarah Malcolm (Angela Bassett), John's wife, takes it upon herself to battle Dr Palmer and reveal his profiteering to the whole town, exposing him for the greedy man he has become.
