Small-town Alabama, the novel is a bildungsroman, or coming-of-age story, and chronicles the childhood of Scout and Jem Finch as their father Atticus defends a Black man falsely accused of rape. Scout and Jem are mocked by classmates for this. (Note I based it off of how old the charters where in the book, the actors are either the same age or close in age from the originals)
