In 1913 Atlanta, Leo Frank, a Jewish factory superintendent from Brooklyn, is wrongfully accused of murdering thirteen-year-old Mary Phagan, one of his workers. As anti-Semitism, political ambition, and mob mentality fuel a rush to judgment, Leo and his wife Lucille fight desperately to prove his innocence. The trial becomes a national sensation that exposes the deep racial and religious prejudices of the American South.
