Official synopsis
Myrlie Evers (Whoopi Goldberg) é a viúva de um líder negro dos direitos civis, que tenta, quase 30 anos depois sua morte, colocar na cadeia o assassino do seu marido, Byron De La Beckwith (James Woods). Byron já foi julgado duas vezes, mas nenhuma pena lhe foi imposta. Porém agora a viúva conta com a ajuda de um promotor branco (Alec Baldwin), que ironicamente é genro do juiz que presidiu os dois julgamentos anteriores e sempre teve fama de ser racista.
