Sixteen-year-old Malcolm Maguire is an idealist. Life is good. But his idealism is tested when Lionel Lemmons, a gay black kid, enrolls at all-white Clinton High. Malcolm accepts him without prejudice. When they both enter the prestigious High School Art Competition, (first prize is something Malcolm wants more than anything in the world, ) he is blindsided when Lionel wins. Then Lionel is disqualified on a technicality and Malcolm's picture takes first prize. Who is the real winner?
