The Episodes
HOUR 1
Two families - one white and one black - come together under one roof in Los Angeles as they prepare to go out in the world as the other race. The Wurgels (Bruno, Carmen, and daughter Rose) are a white liberal family from California, and the Sparks (Brian, Renee, and son Nick) are a middle class black family from Georgia.
HOUR 2
A bitter argument erupts between Renee and Carmen over the use of racially charged language. Rose is torn over revealing her true "color" to her new friends in the poetry group or maintaining her cover for the sake of the project. Brian gains access to white culture when he lands a job as a bartender while in white make-up.
HOUR 3
The Wurgels and Sparks lock horns over language and behavior. As the friction builds between Carmen and Renee, Carmen turns to an outsider for insight into the black experience. Bruno and Carmen encounter hostility in an all-black neighborhood, and Nick's fascination with the gangster lifestyle raises concerns for Brian and Renee.
