Overview
VAUGHN, the African American mother of an eight-year-old boy named Memphis, confronts MACK a white real estate broker, at an open house in Soho. A video posted online captures MACK’s daughter, Hazel, calling Memphis the “#NWORD” on the school bus. Accusations of racism are debated between the school administration and parents. The conflict has repercussions on each woman’s marital lives. Eventually, MACK, VAUGHN, and their husbands TOM and JAKE evolve past the incident and become good friends. Until betrayal reveals itself and ugly tensions rise to the surface again.
