Wild child Huck has to get away. His violent drunk of a father is back in town again,
raising Cain. He won't rest until he has Huck's money. So the enterprising boy fakes his own
death and sets out in search of adventure and freedom.
Teaming up with Jim, an escaped slave with a price on his head, the two fugitives go on
the run, travelling down the wide Mississippi River. But Huck finds himself wrestling with
his conscience. Should he save Jim, or turn his friend over to a terrible fate?
