A twist to the tale of Huckelberry fin, on the The Mississippi River, 1861. When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a new owner in New Orleans and separated from his wife and daughter forever, he flees to nearby Jackson’s Island until he can put a plan to save himself and his family.
In the mean time, Huck Finn has faked his own death to elude his aggressive and violent father who had recently come back to town. From there a risky yet sublime journey along the Mississippi River begins, towards the elusive promise of the free states and beyond. As James and Huck navigate the treacherous waters, each bend in the river holds the promise of both salvation and demise.
And together, the unlikely pair embark on the most life-changing odyssey of them all . . .
