The Red Summer illuminates 100 of Chicago history starting in 1917 with the first black female cop in America, Gracie Wilson, who heroically partners with a white moral pragmatist, Officer Razor, to fight crime, corruption, and race riots connecting all the way to 2017 where a former internal affairs agent, Deacon, tries to save a condemned man, Neal Tynes who was forced to confess to a murder he did not commit. Inspired by true events.
