When tragedy strikes and a terrorist schoolteacher opens fire at a high school in New Mexico, matters of racial equality seem more questionable than ever, leaving colored students like Arya Divero to deal with the aftermath of grief and lost identity.
When Arya decides to take a stand against injustice and commemorate the black lives lost in the shooting, she's paired with two other students to construct a mural in memory of the victims. And as luck would have it, these two students just so happen to be her ex-girlfriend, Nina, and her best-friend's ex-boyfriend, Stephen.
And so, Arya is bound on a journey of self-discovery as she questions the very fundamentals of her existence: right vs. wrong, love vs. hate, black vs. white. But as she'll soon discover, nothing is set in stone and life is not just a war between black and white.
There's a whole spectrum of colors in between.
