Solomon Northup levede som fri mand med sin familie i New York, da han i 1841 blev kidnappet som slave under en rejse til sydstaten Washington D.C., hvor slaveri endnu var tilladt før den Amerikanske Borgerkrig. Med pisk fik han banket sin nye identitet ind i kroppen, inden han blev solgt til en plantageejer i Louisiana. Gennem tolv år oplevede han slaveriet indefra med al dets brutalitet, daglige fornedrelse og konstante frygt. Men aldrig vandt fremmedgørelsen over ham.
