August 1962 — a white man is discovered dead in a small town of Alabama. Local police arrest the only stranger in town, a black man named Virgil Tibbs. Little do they know, their suspect is a detective from California. Left with no witnesses, no motives, and no clues, Detective Tibbs becomes this racially-tense community’s only hope of solving the brutal murder. Adapted for the stage from the book that inspired the Oscar-winning film.
