Justice is a black teenage girl living in Chicago. When her father accepts a job in the Bahamas, they move there against her will. The family is given membership at the exclusive yacht club, but not everyone is happy with the new American imports. Despite attempts to intimidate her, Justice begins to learn how to sail. She joins the annual children’s regatta, determined to win—and to prove true the motto “One Bahamas”.
