It's 1853 in the newly founded town of Randolph, Vermont. They've just built railroad tracks right through the center of Main Street. Each time a train churns through, it makes the whole town shudder and leaves a trail of heavy black smoke. But there's another train, too. One you can't see. It's the Underground Railroad, and when it makes a detour through Randolph, it will tear your new town apart. Bounty hunters from the South have arrived, looking for escaped slaves. Some folks think they have no business in the North, and some think they should get what they came for and leave. But when you discover where they're hiding the two fugitive slaves they've just captured, you have to decide for yourself how to help.
