Summary: In the summer of 1964, Joe and John Henry's friendship is tested by the harsh realities of segregation. Despite a new law opening the town pool to all, they discover that changing hearts is harder than changing laws. As they race to the pool, they confront the deep-seated racism that still divides their Southern town. Can their bond withstand the societal barriers that seek to keep them apart?
