Birdie and Cole are sisters with biracial parents on the brink of danger during the turbulent 1960s.
Despite their attempts to cling to each other, their parent’s involvement with a violent anti-establishment group will eventually separate them: Cole with her dark-skinned father and Birdie with her white mother.
