It’s 1930s Mississippi and only certain people are allowed to do magic. Unsanctioned broom racing isn’t allowed…unless you know the right channels and the right people. Billie Mae is one of those people, captain of the Night Storms racing team. Together with her second in command, she’s determined to make enough money to move to a state where Black people are allowed to do magic.
