Horrified by the cruel treatment of enslaved Africans, Henry becomes an advocate for their welfare, greatly improving their conditions and earning their respect. As he does so, he falls in love with Cecilia, a kind and devoted abolitionist, who supports his efforts. Unbeknownst to Henry, Ceciliaâs brother, Frederic, suspects him of being involved in the disappearance of Ceciliaâs best friend, Augusta.
