In the racially divided towns of Bayside and Hamilton, New York, no one steps over the train tracks that divide them. Or else. When Zach Whitman, a white boy, moves in from Philly, he follows his dream across the tracks to meet his idol, the famous jazz musician who owns The Sunlight Record Shop in Hamilton. Capri Collin plans to follow her late mother's famous footsteps, dancing her way onto Broadway, and leaving this town for good. Her older brother, Justin, is planning to go off to college next year. One tragic night changes all their plans: Justin's friend, the star of Hamilton's football team, is murdered by a white Bayside police officer. Now the long-standing feud between Bayside and Hamilton becomes an all-out war And Capri, Justin, and Zach are right in the middle of it. -- adapted from Amazon info and perusal of book
