Cora, a slave on a Georgia cotton plantation, endures a brutal existence. When a fellow slave, Caesar, reveals the existence of the Underground Railroad, they decide to escape north. In this reimagining, the Underground Railroad is a physical entity, a train carrying fugitives. Their journey takes them through various states, each presenting unique dangers and challenges as they seek freedom from bondage and the relentless slave catcher, Ridgeway.
