Plots(1)
T.J. is a streetwise teenager who thinks only of himself. He puts little value in education and often skips out on his high school classes. While running from the police, he's hit by a car and wakes as a slave on an 1820's plantation. He quickly learns the value of education and the freedom he once took for granted. Only by learning to put others' needs before his own can he get back home. (official distributor synopsis)
