Plot :

A man must decide if his greater loyalty is to his family or to
 justice in this made-for-TV movie based on a true story. In 1963,
several members of a Southern Ku Klux Klan chapter bombed an
African-American church in Birmingham, AL. Four young girls died
in the blast, but the police were unable to prosecute the most
 case at the time because no one was willing to testify
against the most likely suspects, or even say what they knew
 about them. Tom Cherry (Tom Sizemore) is the son of Bobby
Frank Cherry (Richard Jenkins), who moved from Alabama
 to Texas not long after the bombing. Now a grown man
in middle age, Tom has known since he was a boy about his
father's involvement in the Ku Klux Klan and his participation
 in the Birmingham church bombing, but he's never been able
 to bring himself to tell the police what he know, or turn his
 dad over to authorities. However, when investigators reopen
the case and begin asking both Tom and Bobby Frank tough questions,
Tom struggles to decide what he should do, with his good friend
Garrick Jones (Ving Rhames) urging him to help the authorities
bring the guilty parties to justice.
