Frederick Douglass is navigating a mid-life crisis. He has achieved a unique position as a celebrity author, orator, and newspaper publisher. However, his public image has been tarnished by rumors of an affair with a young, female abolitionist to whom he rented a room at his family's Rochester residence. His weekly newspaper is failing and his personal finances have suffered as a result. Desperate to reboot his heroic image among mostly white, progressive supporters and Douglass has taken refuge at a secret location with his youngest son Charles to write a new book that he can publish and sell to replenish his earnings. Then, Harriet Tubman arrives at his door. Her mysterious presence unnerves Douglass and he becomes obsessed with decoding the myth of 'The Great Moses.'
