Pinky Johnson (Crain), una ragazza, figlia di neri ma chiara di pelle, lascia la città di Boston, dove ha conseguito il diploma d'infermiera, per fare ritorno al suo paese d'origine, nel Sud degli Stati Uniti. Pinky, abituata ormai alla vita cittadina dove la gente non dà più peso alle differenze di razza, trova intollerabili i pregiudizi che sono ancora ben radicati nella sua città d'origine.
