When Matt Bennett, a frustrated author/journalist writes an op/ed piece that challenges the literary establishment’s assumption that marginalized authors should get special treatment he’s not prepared for the blowback – from the public, his employer and his wife, an emerging BIPOC writer. He’s cast as either a no-talent writer jealous of the success of others, an outright racist, or both. However, not all sectors of society feel that way. The right-wing sees him as a saviour of white culture.
He wants a chance to explain he’s not any of those things just someone who came upon an inconvenient truth and feels morally obligated to declare his findings. But the only person prepared to give him that opportunity is Lane North, a documentary filmmaker and right-wing commentator. Lane doesn’t want him to repudiate what he’s said but rather reinforce it.
Trying to make it right goes from bad to worse to murder.
