A poignant drama about identity, love, and racial deception in the Jim Crow South, centered on a woman caught between two worlds and the impossible choices that identity passing demands.

Pinky, a light skinned black woman, returns to her grandmother's house in the South after graduating from a Northern nursing school. Pinky tells her grandmother that she has been "passing" for white while at school in the North. In addition, she has fallen in love with a young white doctor, who knows nothing about her black heritage.
