Cora and her young brother Samuel begin a perilous journey through the thick, unforgiving swamps of the American South in search of a life beyond their chains. Guided only by the constellations and the whispered advice of those who fled before them, they face constant threats from both nature and man. It is a grueling testament to the courage required to claim one's own soul and reach the promise of the free states.
