The shooting of a white couple at the hands of an alleged black assailant makes headlines and Boston's facade as a progressive city begins to slip as its unsavoury legacy of racial violence and segregation again comes to the fore.
After evidence against their first suspect falls apart, the Boston Police Department target a second suspect and hold him on an unrelated charge; newspapers vie to tell Chuck's story as media and police ignore issues in his version of events.
Two months after the murder, Chuck dies by suicide, and revelations emerge from his brother. Troubling errors in the police investigation also come to light and the Black community responds in anger.
