School is a story about friendship, love, and power–and how the influence of all three can change who we are.

Lucas and Jake are lifetime best friends who live in rural Wilson, North Carolina. When the county school board is pressured to realign school districts, their mothers decide to send Lucas and Jake to the local private school.
