Details: This film focuses on two top high school athletes, Pip Moyer and Zastrow Simms, in their segregated schools in Annapolis, Maryland, in 1948, where blacks and whites lived side by side, but federal laws kept them from eating in the same restaurants, attending the same schools, even going to the same beaches. They each had a competitive nature which drove them to scope out the other, and the two became fast friends. By 1968, Pip, who had become the town`s young mayor, and Zastrow, who was in jail, came together in the streets of Annapolis after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The trust they had built over the years enabled the two men to save the city from riots that erupted across the country. In 2005, 71-year-old Zastrow campaigns for his first "official" public office. Pip tries to help his old friend, even as he succumbs to the devastating effect of Parkinson`s disease. As their lives cross paths over a span of six decades, a life-long friendship emerges that is full of humor, compassion and heartbreak which demonstrate the vision of a truly united America.
