In the years before the Civil War, slavery was the law of the land in the South and
some slaves risked their lives trying to escape to the North in search of freedom.
But there were men who made their living by bringing them back. Men like
Augustus Cain---a scarred and troubled bounty hunter who could find those who
didn’t want to be found. But when Cain set out for what he hoped would be his
final journey, he found more than just another young runaway---he also found
himself.
