It's 1959. A small town in the deep south is rocked to its racist core when Maybelle Brown arrives from Philadelphia and becomes the first black, female student ever enrolled in the local college. But that's only the beginning. Soon Maybelle becomes romantically involved with a white man, crossing an unthinkable line among a community terrified by the "rising tide of color."
