Retired Detroit police offi cer Hugo Heiderberg is distraught upon
learning that his daughter Emily was the victim of a rape after
she was abducted from a festival in downtown Detroit. Hugo is
a founding member of a white supremacy group that reaps havoc against
black citizens in reprisal. Emily is impregnated as a result of the rape and
places the misbegotten child up for adoption. The child favorably impacts
the lives of three families and grows up to become a prominent man.
Sergeant Ulysses Washington, a black bigot, half-heartedly investigates the
rape because of his animus against the victim's father.
