In light of a genuine story that occurred in Durham in 1971, the film recalls the occasions that prompted the joining of government funded schools and a peculiar fellowship. Ann Atwater, an African-American extremist and coordinator in the network and Claiborne C.P. Ellis, the head of Ku Klux Klan begin a wild fight, one to get rights for African Americans, the other to avert them. Be that as it may, the occasions will prompt a startling outcome, between the two conceiving an offspring and a fellowship that kept going over 30 years.
