When Thomas Jefferson travels to Paris in 1784 to negotiate trade treaties for America, he takes the enslaved James Hemings with him as his manservant.
Living in Paris, where the French had abolished slavery, Hemings discovers an independence, a skill, and a romance beyond his imagination.
Torn between family and freedom as the French Revolution erupts, Hemings makes a choice that changes Jefferson and America.
