A neo-Nazi skinhead is charged with murder, and Legal Aid has assigned him a Jewish lawyer.
Over the course of developing a defense for the skinhead, his new lawyer is forced to examine the limits of his own liberalism and its underlying demons. This drama is an unblinking examination of hatred, the explosive effect it has on our society, and the hurdles that confront us as we set about eradicating it.
