Synopsis

Imagine a small Southern town where unspoken racism is still the norm. This is the reality for the citizens of Summerston, Georgia until two teenage girls unsuspectingly set out to change that reality. Kaneesha and Sarah, each a different race, attempt to change the long-standing unspoken rule of the "separate but equal" lifestyle of the citizens of Summerston. Adding fuel to the flames is a looming 15-year-old secret shared by their mothers and the former mayor of Summerston. Once the secret is revealed, it will test the tolerance of the entire town, and Kaneesha and Sarah's friendship.
