Luego del fallecimiento de su adorada madre, Ernestine y su hermana, Ermina, deben afrontar la pérdida, la mudanza de la familia a Florida, la irrupción de la progresista tía Lily, y el repentino matrimonio de su padre con Gerte, una inmigrante alemana blanca, en medio de las tensiones sociales y políticas de la Gran Migración.
