Responding to a plea from Joshua, a childhood pal, Fred, a prominent biologist investigating the potential applications of DNA soon after its initial use in England, returns to his home town to encounter memories and resistance. Joshua's grandson, Robert, has been indicted for the murder of Kathy, a cheerleader and student leader. Racial overtones become a major issue as he is black and she is white. Fred and Jerry Preston, the court-appointed defense attorney, become allies as they confront a cover-up involving county officials and a prominent law firm. Both are threatened and assaulted. Jerry and his wife, a local school teacher, are fired from their positions. But using clues ignored by the county law enforcement personnel and DNA evidence, they prove Robert's innocence and identify the real killer. Fred, a widower, and Louise, Robert's aunt, are mutually attracted, struggle with their emotions related to racial mixing, before committing to each other.
