Set in Antebellum America with an absurd and Brechtian twist, fictitious characters Eleanor cross-dressing as a white planter and her husband, Bill pretending to be her loyal servant attempt to escape to the free state of Pennsylvania.

Their operation is running smoothly until they meet Walsh, a drunk planter and member of the Not All Slavers organization, who steals Bill at a rest stop.

Armed with a Glock-19 and her fair skin, Eleanor sets out to rescue him by any means necessary.
