In 2005, Brandon Darby became an overnight activist hero when he traveled to Katrina-devastated New Orleans and braved toxic flood waters to rescue a friend stranded in the Ninth Ward. Soon after, he became a founding member of Common Ground, a hugely successful grassroots relief organization. Three years later, after two young activists were arrested at the 2008 Republican National Convention, Darby shocked close friends and activists nationwide by revealing he’d been instrumental in the indictment—he was an FBI informant.

How does someone switch allegiances so radically? Using direct address interviews and reenactments featuring Darby, Director Jamie Meltzer weaves Darby's version of events with the point of view of those he betrayed, as well as voices of his surprising new allies.
