In 1849, twin sisters fleeing Ireland's famine arrive at New York's seaport. Only one -- Nora-is allowed to get on the boat to South Carolina to fulfill her work contract. On her master's vast rice plantation, an enslaved worker -- Pearl -- befriends her. After one of them commits a crime, the girls flee to Charleston, a dangerous place for runaways.
