Then Why Not Every Man?

FREEDOM NEVER COMES WITHOUT A PRICE.

Nicknamed Runaway for his numerous escapes, a young slave dreams of freedom. Again and again he runs, only to be enslaved once more. Unable to stand more punishment, he commits the ultimate sin - he kills a white overseer. Now, it's run or hang.

Amid death and sacrifice, Runaway heads North. He finds a station of the Underground Railroad which leads him to meet the Coopers, a special family, who take him in and give him his first true home. But danger follows and moving slaves to freedom becomes more difficult.
