Sarah is an
African-American single parent raising Zora, a bright
high-schooler. When Zora discovers that her mom conceived
her through artificial insemination, Zora sets out to
discover her father's identity. However, Zora is stunned,
and Sarah is alarmed, when the sperm donor turns out to be
a very shallow, smarmy, fast-talking car dealer named Hal
Jackson -- who's white! Zora wants to get to know her dad
better; unfortunately her mother and Hal mix worse than
oil and water. But as Sarah and Hal come to accept each
other's race and their situation, they begin to see one
another in a new light.
