When Helene Angel walks home from school with her older brother, a street gang attacks them and paints her white, confronting her with the reality of racism. Devastated, she locks herself away, her brother blames himself, and media attention swarms their neighborhood. An outpouring of love and understanding from friends, classmates and family helps Helene face the trauma and brings the community together.
