On her first day of third grade at Dalton, a prestigious school on New York's Upper East Side, Ruth faces the challenge of adapting to a new environment vastly different from her old school in Harlem. As the brightest student in her class, she begins to sense that her classmates and teachers may judge her by her dark skin, while also experiencing mixed treatment from Christina, the daughter of her mother's employer. Ruth navigates these two worlds, holding onto her own dreams and hopes of being truly seen for who she is.
