A Federal Holiday on the calendar means nothing but dread in the city of Annapolis. Fear has been king ever since a black man in dreadlocks began snatching young girls on federal holidays. Any man with dreadlocks is a suspect, but only one in particular is targeted, Barry Duval. He is black and he has dreadlocks...reason enough, it seemed. The media tarnishes his good name to the point that he loses his job and was kicked out of his apartment while lying in the ICU, in a coma! Even after the FBI cleared his name, a nurse injected something into his IV, attempting to kill him. It was obvious then, that no one believed that he was innocent…except Mildred. Born and raised in Bay Ridge, Mildred Saunders, a USA Olympics Gold Medal winner has acquires a variety of psychic abilities after a near-fatal accident and today she is learning how to use them. Mildred realizes that her new gifts can help; she discovers where the abductor has been hiding. While Mildred helps Barry through hard times, he teaches her about something that she thought was a thing of the past: racism.
