Based on the historic reform school in 1960s Florida, the Dozier School for Boys, which was notorious for abusive treatment of students. RaMell Ross' (Hale County This Morning, This Evening) Nickel Boys explores the story of Elwood Curtis, a young African-American boy who is sent to the Nickel Academy, a fictional version of the Dozier School, after he is falsely accused of a crime. While there, he meets a boy named Turner, and the two form a close friendship as they try to survive the horrors of the school and its corrupt administrators.
