Description
In 1959, eight-year-old Davy Connors leads an idyllic life in his small Midwestern neighborhood. But when a black family moves in to the all-white community, an undercurrent of racism is exposed. As the issue draws battle lines between friends and family, Davy finds his sympathy for the new family challenged by his father's bigotry. Can the fragmented community overcome its prejudices and experience true change and healing?
