James is een geestige, wrange en huiveringwekkende hervertelling van De avonturen van Huckleberry Finn vanuit het perspectief van de tot slaaf gemaakte Jim. Wanneer Jim hoort dat hij binnenkort verkocht zal worden, en voor altijd gescheiden van zijn vrouw en kind, ontsnapt hij naar een eiland in de rivier de Mississippi. Daar treft hij de witte jongen Huck, die zijn eigen dood in scène heeft gezet om te ontsnappen aan zijn gewelddadige vader. Het is het begin van een legendarisch avontuur: samen vluchten ze op een krakkemikkig vlot over de verraderlijke rivier, richting de vrijheid. Tot zover het bekende verhaal. In de versie van Everett neemt hun tocht een aantal huiveringwekkende wendingen. Jim neemt het heft in eigen hand, vastberaden om zijn gezin te bevrijden. En zijn band met Huck komt in een nieuw licht te staan. ...
