Adam and Farai are an interracial couple that have been together for two years. Farai has persuaded Adam to introduce her to his parents, but the visit turns out to be a horrible experience for Farai. Several situations during the dinner make her feel uneasy and ostracised. When confronted about this, Adam tries to play down the situation and shows no understanding for his partner's concern. Farai starts to wonder if she can be with a man whose family does not accept her and who is not willing to face the difficulties of an interracial relationship.

Farai and Adam have been dating for two years, but she's never met his parents. Until this weekend. Adam's parents have a lovely house in a beautiful small town. But after they arrive, Adam's mom immediately begins making racist comments about everything from Farai's hair to her family's education. Farai asks for Adam's support - and Adam is used to keeping quiet in response to cruel, critical remarks from his mother for the sake of peace in the family. He doesn't stand up for himself, much less for Farai. This vividly illustrated graphic novel tackles the prejuice and racism Black people experience on an everyday basis.
