In the turbulent pre-Civil War South, thirteen-year-old Robert grapples with the moral complexities of his family.

Witnessing the harsh realities of slavery through his friendship with William Henry, Robert must decide if he can stand by or fight for what he believes is right, even if it means confronting his own family.
