The film centers around Will, a Black boy during the American Civil War, and Nate— a Black Union soldier who is the target of bounty hunters. Will has been forcibly pressed into a bounty hunter gang, because his age and assumed innocence are useful in luring unsuspecting targets in. He plots to deliver Nate from up North down to a prearranged location in the South for his gang to kill Nate, but along the way he struggles with this decision as Nate becomes more of a father figure.
