The Klansman
“Welcome to scenic Atoka County. Pop. 10,000. Cross burnings. Rape. Murder. Arson. It's a great place to live...if THEY let you.”
A small southern town has just been rocked by a tragedy: a young white woman has been raped by a black man. When young black man Garth witnesses the Ku Klux Klan's violent retaliation against his innocent friend, Garth declares a one-man war on the Klan and hunts them down one-by-one.
