It is the Golden Age of Hollywood and more important, the height of censorship against minorities. 28-year-old Sidney Poitier is not yet the oscar winning, activist king that we know him to have been, in fact in this true story, he is simply a young man dreaming of his first major motion picture. Behind closed doors, a contract is offered that would make his dreams come true, but at what cost? Will Sidney stay true to his inner being or will he succumb to the Hollywood machine?
