Welcome to Jay

A shocking murder at a bonfire party in Jay, Florida, uncovers a dark secret from the town's past, revealing a disturbing parallel with a similar crime from 1922 that had a profound impact on the community.

In the rural town of Jay, Florida, a predominantly white community has a long-standing reputation of unwelcoming black people. The origins of this reputation are unknown, but it persists. In 2010, a black teenager named Gus Benjamin was fatally shot at a party in Jay, and the subsequent trial of his killer, Robert Floyd, exposes deep-seated racial tensions and a dark history of violence.
