In the fall of 1994, Jimmy Brett was doing very well for a Wisconsin boy: good looks, great job, house on a lake, and a hot car. However, his life would change dramatically when he bought an old racist book for a quarter at a sidewalk sale. Jimmy's lover, Marian, took great offense when she saw the book; and Jimmy resolved to get rid of it by utilizing the fledgling World Wide Web. Jimmy found out quickly that using the Web could put himself and Marian in danger. Seeking to make a huge profit from the sale of the book, he traveled South to meet with a buyer. There he became aware of a terrible plan by white supremacists to kill and maim hundreds of African Americans with the intent of starting a race war.
Meanwhile, Jimmy's friend George Farrell has been honored by his alma mater by becoming the grand marshal of the Crispus Attucks State College Homecoming Parade where the white supremacist plan was to take place. Jimmy notified the authorities of the plot, but he also called George. On the day of the parade, George's heroics would save many lives. Using Jimmy's information, the FBI and ATF were able to quash the nationwide follow-up plan by arresting many of the leaders of the plot, but the threat would continue.
