As young adults, they escape their hometown, but their lives take dramatically different turns. One sister, Stella, chooses to pass as white, severing ties with her past and family. The other, Desiree, remains within the Black community, navigating life and motherhood. Their choices create a ripple effect that impacts not only their own lives but also the lives of their daughters.
