Synopsis

Twelve-year-old Shayla prefers to avoid trouble and follow the rules. However, starting junior high brings unexpected challenges: shifting friendships, questions about her identity, and accusations of not being 'black enough.' Inspired by her sister's involvement in the Black Lives Matter movement, Shayla begins to understand that some rules are worth breaking. She decides to wear an armband to school in support, leading to difficult choices and the realisation that standing up for what's right can be its own kind of trouble.
