York's Story

York is a freedman at the end of the American Civil War. His goal is to own land, meet the woman of his dreams, Cofey, and raise a family. When falsely accused of murder, York must evade corrupt sheriff JD and his KKK posse, which means leaving Cofey behind in Mississippi with their unborn child. In the background, Agents of Frederick Douglass (AFD), a secret abolitionist network, have been trying to recruit York for some time, but his pursuit of the American dream has stifled their efforts.
