Nothing Can Always Remain The Same.
Identical twins Maya and Nikki have always agreed on the important things.
Friends. Boys. School.
They even plan to attend the same historical African American college.
Buts their Portland neighborhood goes from rough-and-tumble to up-and-coming.
Maya feels the connection between Nikki and their community flipping away.
Nikki spends more time at trendy coffee shops than backyard barbecues, and their new high school principal is more committed to erasing the neighborhood's "ghetto" reputation than honoring its history.
As Maya struggles to hold on to her black heritage, she begins to wonder with whom- or where - she belongs.
