At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the chaos in Wilmington following the violent events surrounding the election. The narrative opens with a report of organized mobs targeting Black citizens, and we learn about the corrupt political climate, characterized by intimidation and intimidation tactics as white supremacist groups aim to rest control of the city. The first chapter introduces an editor who refuses to retract his truthful stance about the insecurity faced by the Black community, setting up the themes of resistance, betrayal, and the quest for justice that will be explored throughout the book.
