Childhood friends Clare and Irene are both light-skinned enough to pass as white, but only one of them has chosen to cross the colour line. Clare believes she had successfully cut herself off from any connection to her past. Married to a white man who is oblivious to her African-American heritage, it is vital to her that the truth remains hidden. Both women are forced to re-examine their relationships with each other, with their husbands and with the truth, confronting their most closely guarded fears. Now a major Netflix film.
