Maycomb, Alabama is drowsy with heat and dust when six-year-old Scout Finch hears her father agree to the case no other white lawyer will touch. Atticus Finch will defend Tom Robinson, a Black man accused of attacking a white girl, before a courtroom that decided his guilt before the trial began. Scout and her brother Jem watch from their front porch as friends turn cold, whispers follow them to school, and their father's quiet courage marks the whole family. Summer games and a mysterious neighbor fade as the trial draws near. Scout still believes fairness should win. Maycomb is about to teach her what it costs to insist on it.
