Histoire
In the small southern town of Jessup, Georgia, a young white woman named Linda is raped by a black man. The Ku Klux Klan retaliates violently against the black community, leading to the death of an innocent black man named Virgil. When Garth, another black man who witnessed the incident, sees the injustice, he vows revenge against the KKK members responsible for Virgil's death. One by one, Garth hunts down and kills the Klansmen involved in Virgil's lynching.
