The civil War is winding down and president Lincoln has issued the Emancipation Proclamation which means enslaved brothers Landry and Prentiss can at last leave the plantation on which they've spent their lives. And yet danger lurks everywhere around them in Confederate Georgia, even after they are given shelter and employment by an eccentric white couple from the North.                                                                                     Farmer George Walker and his wife Isabelle are reeling from a loss that has shaken them to their core. After a chance encounter, they agree to employ the brothers on their land, and slowly the tentative bonds of trust begin to blossom between the strangers but this sanctuary survives on a knife's edge and isn't long before a tragedy causes the inhabitants of the nearby town to turn their suspicion onto these new friendships with devastating consequences.
