In 1849 Virginia, enslaved gravedigger Asa Crowder discovers the one place his enslavers are afraid to search: the plantation cemetery. Beneath false graves, he hides weapon parts and turns the headstones themselves into a secret escape map. But when the plantation owner finally uncovers the deception, Asa must sacrifice the cemetery—and possibly himself—to keep the resistance alive.
