The narrative explores the intersection of two lives: Wagoosh, guided by a vision southward, and Absalom, an escaped slave heading north. Their encounter sparks a cultural clash and a desperate flight from Abraham, the plantation owner, delving into the complexities of race relations in 19th-century America. Through humor, music, and poetry, Ian Ross crafts a rich tapestry that reveals both the unifying and divisive elements of their experiences, offering a unique perspective on historical themes.
