When Odessa honors the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott by walking the nine miles to and from work, Miriam offers her a ride. Defying both Miriam's racist husband and the powerful town council, Miriam and Odessa put their lives in danger for civil rights. Their shared experiences draw them closer as a deep respect and lasting friendship forms. Together, in a difficult world of black versus white, they manage to discover common ground.
