Ray and Ward grew up best friends—one black, one white—in
Halifax’s Africville district. Now they face each other again, this time in a
courtroom as lawyer and judge in an explosive trial revolving around the
three-decades-old expropriation and demolition of Africville. The trial will
force both men to confront the demons of their pasts and reveal secrets they’ve

blockbuster courtroom thriller of power, politics, sex and race.
