The story follows Lieutenant Henry O. Flipper, the first African American graduate of West Point, who faced a court-martial in 1881 while serving in Texas. Though acquitted of embezzlement, he was convicted of conduct unbecoming an officer, leading to his dismissal from the army. Flipper's case highlighted the deep-seated racism within the military, drawing parallels to the Dreyfus Affair. His struggle to clear his name underscores the challenges faced by African Americans in a prejudiced society.
