A story about six students chosen by their teacher Ms. Laverne to participate in an end-of-week special discussion group, known as ARTT (A Room to Talk). Each has their own unique backgrounds and struggles - including immigration fear, racial prejudice, and death of a loved one. Over the course of a year, they become a kind of family, sharing their personal experiences, bonding over their struggles, and providing support for one another.
