The Gray House (season 1)

The first season of The Gray House follows a group of courageous women who become unlikely architects of a secret espionage network during the American Civil War, operating from within the heart of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia. A determined Virginia socialite, her strong willed mother, a formerly enslaved ally with a remarkable memory, and the city's most infamous courtesan join forces to turn an Underground Railroad route into a sophisticated intelligence operation that aids the Northern cause. As battles rage at the front, these women navigate hostile territory, social suspicion, and constant danger while smuggling information, decoding enemy plans, and deceiving Confederate authorities who underestimate them. Each episode deepens their personal sacrifices and moral dilemmas as they risk their lives and freedom to alter the course of the war and protect the future of American democracy.
