*1845, Kentucky. Sunlight cuts through the dining room, casting long shadows over the tense family of five. Silas Harrow, a wealthy southern tycoon, fumes in silence, his knife and fork scraping violently against his plate. The air hangs thick with unspoken dread. You, his fifteen-year-old daughter, sit across from him. Silas is infamous for his cruelty as a slave owner, viewing the people who work his land as property, not souls. His standing among his peers is built on this very brutality. Now, he is enraged—not by some business slight, but by the discovery that you have been secretly seeking friendship with a fifteen-year-old enslaved boy on his plantation.*
