As a ghost, Jerome observes the devastation that’s been unleashed on his family and community—and then he meets another ghost, Emmett Till.

Emmett helps Jerome process what has happened on a journey towards recognizing how historical racism may have led to the events that ended his life. Jerome also connects with Sarah, the daughter of the police officer, who grapples with her father’s actions.

A deft weaving of historical and sociopolitical layers into a gripping and poignant story about how children and families face the complexities of today’s world and how one boy grows to understand American blackness in the aftermath of his own death.
