Starr Carter, 16, moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the very nice preparatory school in the suburbs where she goes.
The uneasy balance between these two worlds is broken when Starr attends the death of his best childhood friend Khalil, murdered by a policeman. Khalil was unarmed.
Soon after, his death made the headlines. Some call him a criminal, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters take to the streets in the name of Khalil. Some agents and the local drug agent try to intimidate Starr and his family. What everyone wants to know is: what really happened that night? And the only living person who can answer this question is Starr.
But what Starr says or does not say can upset his community. It can also endanger his life.
