Helpful Score: 2


Trade's peaceful ranch life is interrupted by a case involving repressed memories of the murder of a black family 37 years ago by the client's father and his friends. The client's father, sister, and brother all deny that anything of the kind happened. The more Trade investigates, the more involved she gets with the gruesome story. Could such virulent racism have existed in the Arizona she loves?

With no bodies to examine and threatening phone calls and fires, Trade is convinced there is truth to the story.

A different view of Arizona life today and 40 years ago. A sad, but compelling tale.
