The story is set in the tragic town of Greenwood in 1921, where black communities in America were just beginning to thrive. Greenwood, run entirely by black townspeople, prides itself on its ability t o live separate but successful lives from the whites across the tracks. Isaiah is a poet and secret admirer. Angel is a dancer and a loner who helps the town by caring for his sick father and colicky baby next door is a lover of Booker T Washington and believes, against Isaiah's beliefs, that blacks should slowly come into their power as opposed to rising quickly to be one with whites. These opposing views do not stop the two from developing a friendship through their school delivering books to those in need. In the midst of their budding romance, Isaiah deals with his toxic friendship with Muggy, his best friend, and the prying eyes of those who judge him for liking Angel.
