In 1933 Mississippi, Cassie Logan and her brothers are warned to avoid the Wallace store. Yet, they witness Mr. Tom Bee, an elderly black man, boldly addressing the white storekeeper by his first name. This defiance of racial norms raises questions about the power of shared history. Can past connections alter the present's harsh realities? As tensions simmer, Cassie must navigate a world where courage and danger walk hand in hand. Discover the impact of one man's audacity in a time when some things just aren't done.
