Plot

During the turbulent Civil Rights era of the early 1960s, a young white psychiatrist becomes discouraged with his inability to reach a disaffected, institutionalized young black man. The supervising psychiatrist, who is also black, encourages his subordinate by relating his own experiences twenty years earlier when he was a prison psychiatrist assigned to the distasteful task of treating a viciously paranoid race-baiting Nazi charged with sedition.
