In 1798, Daniel Dickinson, a young Quaker father and widower, leaves his home in Pennsylvania to establish a new life. When Daniel suddenly trades a horse for a young slave, Onesimus, it begins a struggle in his conscience that will taint his life forever and sets in motion a chain of events that leads to two murders and the family's strange relationship with a runaway slave named Bett. Linda Spalding is Michael Ondaatje's partner.
