In the autumn of 1858, on the prairies of Central Illinois, Lycurgus (Surge) Sherwood has been more concerned with the day to day business of his farm in Marshall County than with the runaway slaves that filter up the Dixon Trail on the Underground Railroad. But when his sister is ruthlessly murdered by Mississippi bounty hunters Surge suddenly finds himself embroiled in the clandestine and unlawful Freedom Train.
