Finding themselves in a slave community hidden within the Great
Dismal Swamp, Will Rees and his wife Lydia get caught up in a
dangerous murder case where no one trusts them. September 1800,
Maine. Will Rees is beseeched by Tobias, an old friend abducted by
slave catchers years before, to travel south to Virginia to help
transport his pregnant wife, Ruth, back north. Though he's
reluctant, Will's wife Lydia convinces him to go . . . on the
condition she accompanies them. Upon arriving in a small community
of absconded slaves hiding within the Great Dismal Swamp, Will and
Lydia are met with distrust. Tensions are high and a fight breaks
out between Tobias and Scipio, a philanderer with a bounty on his
head known for conning men out of money. The following day Scipio
is found dead - shot in the back. Stuck within the hostile Great
Dismal and with slave catchers on the prowl, Will and Lydia find
themselves caught up in their most dangerous case yet.
