Bearing his African ancestors' distinguishing markings and destined to become a leader and a prophet, Virginia-born slave Nat, is a child of God with a purpose and the rare gift of literacy in Southampton County in the early 1800s. As a result, Nat will be raised on the cotton plantation, encouraged by his considerate owner to learn the teachings of the Bible and two decades later, in 1831, named after his owners, Nat Turner will become a zealous and vigorous Baptist preacher, married to the pretty young slave Cherry-Ann. But this is a debt-stricken, struggling plantation, and before long, Nat will need to collaborate with his owner and childhood playmate who will rent the black preacher to manipulate the scripture and cite verses that support their bondage and justify their burdens. However, as the tortures and the brutality spread fast, Nat torn between cooperation and opposition will eventually mobilise his tormented fellow slaves, rebel and bear down their swords on their loathsome enemies.
