In 1926, in a cotton field in Georgia, young Cecil witnessed his father being shot and killed by a farmer. Since then, racial discrimination has cast a lingering shadow in his heart. In the late 1950s, Cecil Gaines, who was in Washington, was accidentally recognized by the head of the White House's internal affairs and was elected to work as a catering service in the center of the country's politics. He remembered the teachings of his superiors, watched his words and colors, and dissolved himself in the air. In the years that followed, Cecil served Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan and other presidents who each wrote an important piece of American history. Around the black civil rights struggle, he and the president, his family, and his brothers and sisters have also experienced unforgettable moments.

JFK Johnson Nixon, don't you have the cosplay spirit of Eisenhower and Reagan? Look at the sound of JFK's flattery~ Why didn't the director find George Clooney to co-operate with Nixon!

Gloria Gaines: Everything you are and everything you have, is because of that butler.

Cecil Gaines: America has always turned a blind eye to what we done to our own. We look out to the world and judge. We hear about the concentration camps but these camps went on for two hundred years right here in America.
