Three stories, two sides, one country. Southerner Absolon Wilkes
wants only to marry and live a peaceful life in North Carolina but
the Civil War denies him both. When he voices his objection to the
cause of the Confederacy, he is labeled a traitor and a coward. As
the accusations against him grow, the safety of his fiancee, Anne,
is threatened and Absolon is forced to leave his home, vowing to
come back to her after the war. He solicits a promise from his
closest friend, Royal Pollard to protect her until his return.
Burdened with duty, Royal valiantly stands between Anne and harm
despite being branded a Union sympathizer and a coward for
declining his commission. His pain runs still deeper as he
struggles to suppress his love for Anne. With her husband called
away to fight, the loss of their infant son is too great a burden
for Victoria Corbel to endure alone. Disguising herself as a man,
she enlists in the Confederate Army, taking a dangerous assignment
as a courier. Alone in enemy territory, she rides from camp to camp
following the battles, determined to find her husband and fight or
die at his side. When the Corbel Plantation is left in the hands of
a cruel overseer, one slave, Window Graham, escapes to join the
Union forces and fight for his freedom. Befriended by Absolon
Wilkes he learns the true meaning of war and of friendship. But,
Window's heart is tested when he confronts his mortally wounded
former owner at the bloody battle at Ringold Gap. Inspired by the
letters of a Civil War foot soldier, these true stories are
skillfully woven together in a thrilling, inspirational and
heart-breaking tale of courage and sacrifice.
