When two Senegalese countrymen, Miro and Osmanu were sold onto a plantation in Virginia in 1864, a year before the Civil War, the last thing they expected is to see was to be held as slaves-or to be housed with a group of men and women whose ethnicities resemble their own. Little do they know that this place is their new home. Sir William-the owner of the plantation was fair to his slaves. But once he became enchanted by Miro's dark beauty, he set aside his desire for his wife to pursue his so-called property when the time was right. As the days moved toward war, Miro and Osmanu struggled to hide their love-Osmanu's plan for them is to escape to the North after hearing stories from the fellow Africans on the plantation. Now, facing a bigger dilemma after being brought inside Sir William's home to work, Miro's and Osmanu's bond is put to the ultimate test. Will the two escape to the North? Or will everything they've hoped for be lost?
