The production takes place in an alternate universe in which the underground railroad, the series of routes and refuges to which slaves escaped in the 19th century, is a real railroad with trains, machines and more. .

Cora can’t imagine the world beyond the cotton farm – neither could she. Of the few things she was allowed to know, she knew Georgia was not a runaway friendly state. The colors of spilled blood and the sound of slaves’ cries were clear in his mind, and his dreams were filled with the anguish of his slave quarters. In a soul thirsty for freedom, any invitation to see the world beyond barriers appears as a crystalline source. Cora was unaware of the secrets lurking in the veins of her country. Until Caesar, a young slave, told him about the Underground Railroad that would take them to the United States, where there was no longer slavery. Cora will have to cross the United States and face terrible misfortunes. But nothing can contain her courage to transgress the conditions imposed on her – she will do anything to be free.

Thuso Mbedu and Aaron Pierre play the roles of Cora and César respectively. Chase W. Dillon, Joel Edgerton, Damon Harriman, William Jackson Harper, Amber Gray, Lily Rabe and more complete the cast.
