It's 1820 in Mississippi where Isaiah, a young, handsome colored man works his owner's cotton fields. When the horrors of slavery strike too close to home, he flees north under the cover of darkness, alone, scared, and hunted. At the same time in Clear River, beautiful, dark haired Cora arrives to assist her grandmother with the mercantile after her grandfather's passing. When their paths unexpectedly cross, it seems like a love that was destined to be. But between the gossip and prejudice of the town, and the dangerous fight for Isaiah's life and freedom, is their love strong enough to brave and survive the fires of hell?
