Le jeune Hiram Walker est né dans les fers. Le jour où sa mère a été vendue, Hiram s'est vu voler les souvenirs qu'il avait d'elle. Tout ce qui lui est resté, c'est un pouvoir mystérieux que sa mère lui a laissé en héritage. Des années plus tard, quand Hiram manque se noyer dans une rivière, c'est ce même pouvoir qui lui sauve la vie. Après avoir frôlé la mort, il décide de s'enfuir, loin du seul monde qu'il ait jamais connu.

Bisher kannte Hiram Walker nichts als ein Leben in Ketten. Aufgewachsen in der Sklaverei, musste er miterleben, wie seine Mutter verkauft wurde und für immer verschwand. Doch dann rettet ihn eine seltene Gabe vor dem Ertrinken und in Hiram wächst der Entschluss zu fliehen. Es beginnt eine abenteuerliche Reise von den Tabakplantagen West Virginias bis nach Philadelphia, wo Hiram die lang ersehnte Freiheit gefunden zu haben glaubt. Doch er hat noch eine Rechnung offen: die Frau, die er liebt, und die Frau, die ihn aufzog, in die Freiheit zu führen.
