Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Escaping a drunk father who has locked him up, Huck fakes his own murder and falls in with Jim, a slave running from being sold down the river. The two take a raft down the Mississippi, and Huck spends the journey arguing with himself over whether helping Jim damns him. Conscience taught against everything he has been taught.
