Precocious orphan Polly (Keshia Knight Pulliam) moves to Alabama to live with her cynical aunt (Phylicia Rashad). Her new home is embedded within a segregation-era black neighborhood rife with internal conflict. Being a pragmatic and optimistic child, Polly has an uplifting effect on all those she comes into contact with, including a hardworking doctor (Dorian Harewood). Through a combination of music and hope, Polly strives to bring the community together.
