A time-travel adventure on the Underground Railroad

Ranger, a search-and-rescue-trained golden retriever who travels through time, arrives at a Maryland plantation during American slavery. There he meets Sarah, whose family faces the threat of separation when her younger brother Jesse may be sold to a plantation in the Deep South. Sarah’s decision to head north places the siblings’ story within the history of the Underground Railroad. The series blends a child-centered historical situation with a time-traveling animal companion, keeping the journey’s stakes rooted in Sarah and Jesse’s effort to remain together.
