In 1966 in a swampy strip of land south of New Orleans a young Black fisherman, Gary Duncan, tries to break up a fight between white and black teenagers outside a newly integrated school. He gently lays his hand on a white boy’s arm. That night, police arrest 19-year-old Gary Duncan for assault on a minor. With the help of a young Jewish attorney, Richard Sobol, Duncan bravely stands up to systemic racism in courtroom battles, including the US Supreme Court.
