In 1962, psychologist Philip Arrington and his family move to the predominantly white town of Monroe, New York, navigating a world of racial and social complexities. As the family pursues their ambitions through careers, property, and travel, they confront underlying tensions and personal struggles, particularly through the eyes of Maddie, a young Black girl facing the realities of racism and family secrets. The linked stories explore themes of identity, belonging, and resilience amid a backdrop of societal change.
