A dark secret lies in Alium, Mississippi. Canaan Evans, a sixteen-year-old, grew up in Alium, where it is a town out of time. It was run by the Ku Klux Klan. Most of his life, he believed their every word, until a visit to his grandparents in Tennessee changed his life. He was exposed to the love of God and his view of all the other races. Canaan returned home on fire for God and sharing the gospel with everyone. While he spreads the good news, he finds himself in love with an African American girl named Hayden Williams. When Canaan finally gets the courage to confess his feelings, he is asked to go undercover to find out about a strange plan cooked up by the Klan. He agrees after he tells her his heart, but on one condition: that she be his anchor. Life in his new role is causing him to teeter on his beliefs in God and the lies of the Klan. Will Canaan be able to keep his sanity as he goes undercover?
