“My Friend” Synopsis

Caesar is running for his life in Virginia in 1890. He runs through the woods, just when he outran his pursuers, he missteps and tumbles down a steep hill and bumps his head, managing to also get his ankle stuck in between two rocks. With his pursuers getting closer, he sees a strange figure in the night. She covers his mouth to keep him from making a sound. He escapes. Realizing his savior is death, he tries to outrun her, but ends up out of breath in a clear field. Instead of leading to his demise, a conversation sparks a friendship that lasts a lifetime.
