Solomon Northup was originally a free man, made a living playing the violin, had a wife and two children, and lived a happy life. Unexpectedly, he was deceived by two white men who thought they were the accompaniment of a circus performance. He went to Washington and woke up to find that he had become a black slave. At first he was sold to Mr. Ford as a slave on the estate. It was soon sold to Mr. Epps, known as the "Slave Terminator", who picked cotton day after day on the plantation and witnessed many tragedies of black slaves. Twelve years later, he never gave up his hope of returning to a free man, until he met a progressive man, Mr. Bass, a carpenter. Can Solomon end his fate as a slave?
