"GLORY" meets "DANCES WITH WOLVES." When a soldier deserts from battle, he soon discovers the true cost of war through a young heroic black man, who teaches him the real meaning of Freedom.
When a Union soldier flees from battle, rescue comes unexpectedly from Kitch (RJ Cyler, "Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl", "The Harder They Fall"), a free black man and his band of friends. Risking everything, Kitch takes William (Gerran Howell, "Young Dracula") deep into the woods to the safety of his adopted home. It is here that William discovers Kitch is a part of secret community of freed slaves, who run a portion of the Underground Railroad. However, when a ruthless and desperate slave catcher (Ewen Bremner, "Trainspotting") discovers the underground network, he conspires to bring it burning down to the ground.
