Just hours after his honorable discharge from the Army, Isaac Woodard, a decorated World War II veteran, faces a brutal encounter with law enforcement that leaves him blind and ignites a national conversation about race and justice, highlighting the stark realities of returning home as a Black man in the Jim Crow South.

Enter Orson Welles, the famous director and radio personality, who uses his weekly broadcasts to launch a riveting real-life whodunit. As Welles and the NAACP race to uncover the truth, their investigation captivates the country and sets in motion a chain of events that will challenge segregation in the South and change the course of the civil rights movement.
