Based in 1950s Charlotte, North Carolina.
Gloria must endure the hurdles of integrating into a previously all-white high school. She is determined to survive her senior year and graduate without breaking. Being the first colored student set to graduate at a white school in the history of Charlotte, her family are counting on her.
Alex attends the newly integrated school. He struggles living under the shadow of his father, a powerful man affiliated with the school and a bigoted white supremacist.
Crossing paths, Gloria and Alex don't get on well at first, but somehow keep gravitating towards one another despite their differences, unveiling each other's secrets. Society forbids it, but what do the two think? Will their flame remain lit, or will they allow societal demands to put it out?
Or maybe, the segregated society doesn't determine their fate.

Just enjoy a ride on the wave of unpredictability and experience each person with an open heart.
