WARNING: This episode contains racial slurs and topics of racism.

In 1995, in the small town of Guthrie, KY, many of the residents, regardless of race, got along for the most part... Until a tragic murder occurred in January of that year, which allegedly occurred after a group of young people got offended by something another man said... and then racial tensions exploded, and left many residents wondering who they could trust.
