A tense historical drama about enslaved people's escape and resistance, balancing the brutality of slavery with the warmth of human connection and the hope of freedom.
A group of slaves plan a daring 600-mile escape from a Georgia plantation. Along the way, they are aided by a secret abolitionist couple running a station on the Underground Railroad as they attempt to evade the people charged with bringing them back, dead or alive.
