In the sweltering heat of Clanton, Mississippi, a father's worst nightmare unfolds. Ten-year-old Tonya Hailey is walking home from Johnson's Corner Store when two white men-Billy Ray Cobb and James Louis "Pete" Willard-abduct her. What follows is unimaginable: they brutally beat her, repeatedly rape her, and attempt to hang her before dumping her broken body in a kudzu-covered ravine. The crime shakes the small town to its core, exposing the racial tensions simmering beneath its surface. When Carl Lee Hailey carries his daughter's limp body to the ambulance, something breaks inside him-and something else hardens into resolve. As he watches his daughter's attackers being escorted down the courthouse stairs days later, he emerges from hiding with an M-16 rifle. In a hail of bullets, both men are killed. Carl Lee doesn't run; he knows what he's done. But was it murder or justice? And in a town divided by race, can he possibly receive a fair trial?
