The story

Roger Porter, a 17-year-old African-American boy, is the long-lost son of Walter Whitney, a successful businessman living in the exclusive, predominantly white community of San Marino, California. Walter, who is secretly Jewish, lives a frustrating life in his gated community—as he constantly has to beg his wife Vivian for intercourse and has to put up with his obnoxious, disrespectful step-daughter Mary Ann's antics. Roger turns up at Walter's office, revealing that he is the result of Walter's long-ago relationship with a Black woman—Lorraine Porter—who is now dead.
