A rogue police officer can damage a lot more than a perfect evening out.
When Kennedy Stern and her best friend Reuben drag themselves away from their grueling studies to enjoy a night off campus, getting pulled over by a belligerent cop isn't in either of their plans.
When the police altercation turns violent, the media notes Reuben's dark skin and labels this instance of police brutality a hate crime.
Those Kennedy trusts the most warn her not to get involved, but she owes it to Reuben to pursue justice regardless of the personal cost.
Nothing remains a secret when a frenzied media and an embarrassed police department delve into Kennedy's and Reuben's backgrounds.
Some truths, unfortunately, grow increasingly more painful the closer they get to the surface.
