A famed civil rights leader is gunned down as he leaves his hotel, setting off a violent chain of events that will forever change the lives of a White Cop and a militant Black Teenager.

Thirty years later, determined to overcome issues around her father's disappearance, former social activist turned teacher, Vera Caliber returns to her hometown to "kick down some knowledge to the next generation." However on the first day of school she discovers that her once "all-black" high school is now predominantly white.

Complicating matters more is the sudden arrival of Vera's youngest son Seal, recently released from San Quentin after doing a five-year bid for drug-related and sexual assault charges.

And it is here, faced with the guilt of giving up on one of her own, Vera must prepare herself for an emotional implosion of the world she thought she knew.

Opening with the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., Caliber's Revolution takes us from the savagery of the sixties to the perplexities of the present as a family struggles with letting go and moving on.
