Hemma är ett nytt hus med en älskad man i 1970-talets Kalifornien. Men plötsligt befinner hon sig i den skrämmande värld som var den amerikanska södern före inbördeskriget 1861–1865.

Dana, en ung svart författare, kan inte förklara hur hon förflyttas genom tid och rum till en plantage i Maryland. Men hon inser snart varför: för att lösa de problem som drabbar Rufus, en motsägelsefull vit slavägare – och hennes egen anfader. Hennes överlevnad, själva hennes existens, beror på om hon lyckas.

Den här svidande starka serieromanen är baserad på Octavia E. Butlers klassiska science fiction-roman Kindred. Liksom Butlers roman ger den en gripande och klarsynt bild av slaveriets brutala och definierande inverkan på de människor det länkade samman, svarta såväl som vita – och ofta förenade med blodsband i ordets mest konkreta bemärkelse.
