Southlake

Southlake, Texas had a reputation of being a great community-- nice homes, a good school district, the whole nine yards.

In Southlake, NBC news correspondent Antonia Hylton takes you though the story of an idyllic city, and how it became a battleground of political ideologies that would echo across the country.
