Synopsis
Annie Coats and her son Gabriel have bought their freedom from slavery, and move to the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington D.C., an area supposedly set up for free black people, but soon discover it is a lawless dangerous place. With the Civil War beginning, Annie and Gabriel must integrate with their new community, face their old owner, and help escaped slaves on their journey north.
