August 1955, Money, Mississippi. Emmett Till, a 14-year old Black boy from Chicago is visiting relatives in Mississippi. He goes into a local market and what happens next no one truly knows. The white female store clerk alleges Emmett whistled and made an improper remark to her. Her accusation prompts her husband and brother-in-law to kidnap and lynch Emmett.
