I'd like to meet:
Samantha Andrews is a sixth grade Christian girl who is best friends with a Jewish violin player, Annie Rosenberg, also a sixth grader. Their friendship is broken due to the difference in their faiths. A group of boys, who call themselves the Black Knights, do a series of anti-Semitic and bullying acts in the school, affecting Annie and her older brother, David, including breaking Annie's heirloom violin which has an interesting history dating back to Holocaust times in Hungary. Because of their actions, Samantha and her family have an opportunity to reach out to Annie and David. Demetri Paulakis, one of the Black Knights, just wants to fit in with the tough guys and have their protection. He must choose whether to fear God or fear the gang.
