Subject-Verb Agreement

Can you please identify the S-V agreement error in the following sentence:

This strong emotional response and radical change in the boy's feelings toward his father lies in the presumption that Jesse now feels a sense of inferiority toward the black man.

Could you also explain why it is grammatically incorrect?
