"I knocked on the door, and a sad-looking black man opened the door. He wore an old, dirty butler suit, and a weak smile. This is John, the Henderson Family servant."
It's the 90's and African-American men and women across America were treated as less, they are purely slaves.
Tj Voskresensky and his friends sneak into the basement of their school to mess with a ouija board. Once they make contact, they learn that the spirit they talk to was a slave who was worked to death. Tj becomes extremely interested in why these people are slaves, and realizes how wrong it actually is. He starts speaking about this. Many people feel the same, but are scared of the strict and cruel government, one wrong word could easily get them locked up. Tj thinks if he's going to prison for his passion, so be it. Tj, with the help of others, stands up against slavery, at whatever cost.
