It’s the early 1970s, and the first African-American detective to serve in the Colorado Springs Police Department sets out to make a name for himself by infiltrating the Ku Klux Klan. The young detective soon teams up with a more seasoned colleague for the undercover investigation of a lifetime, working to take down the extremist hate group just as it aims to sanitize its violent rhetoric to appeal to mainstream whites.
