Crossing Day is an action-packed thriller with a thought-provoking premise. The story follows a group of white teenagers living in Alabama 160 years after the Civil War ended with a Confederate victory. Slaves of African descent still perform most of the work in the South. This seems normal to the teenagers who enjoy sharing videos, playing sports, and hanging out at a local drive-in restaurant. There they befriend Mish, a slave girl who works as a carhop. When the drive-in’s owner sells Mish to a dirty old man, the teenagers awaken to the injustice around them. Despite the danger, they decide to help Mish escape the Confederacy. Will they succeed?
