A peek into the
Underground Railroad and the tumultuous period before the American Civil War.
In 1833 Philadelphia,
the northern states of America were changing, and not everyone was keen on
altering the status quo. Black slaves were being freed, and new slaves were no
longer allowed.
But the southern states
didn't always agree. Natives were being thrown out of their homes for living
too close to gold, and escaped black slaves were being hunted down. Jesse
Eastman controls the affluent Eastman Empire and frees a former slave, his
half-sister Georgina. But some family members don't like it.
When an estranged
brother gets the idea to let a ruthless gang of property buyers initiate a
takeover, all hell breaks loose.
1833 Brothers & Sisters will pull you into an old western-style family saga, filled with greed, marital love, family conflict, and smoking gun shootouts
