The boys come from a bi-racial family, and while Trey’s skin tone is light, leading people to assume he is white, Donte’s is dark, making the two appear to be not related at all. After an incident that leads to Donte’s unfair arrest and suspension from school, he becomes determined to overcome his bully by beating him at his own game – fencing - with the help of a supportive coach, his family, and a few new friends.
