Lincoln Barker, has earned the title The Picker, for being the fastest picker of cotton in the Deep South, but the time has come for him to work for free no more.Lincoln has a lot to gain, a lot to lose, he must get his freedom, he must outwit his relentless "owner ." It’s a race against time. It’s a race against destiny.The Picker is the story of two “brothers” one a slave, the other free, whose status will determine their future with slavery, freedom, the women they love.
