Hailey Freeman (Danielle Deadwyler, TILL) and her family are the last descendants of African-American farmers who settled in 1875 in rural Canada after the first Civil War. Two hundred years later, they struggle to survive in a famine-decimated future. They make their last stand against those intent on taking their home.
