In 1864, at the height of the Civil war, Charlie is a slave on the Rose-Bell plantation in Nashville, Tennessee. Having dreamed of freedom his whole life, Charlie had heard about the Contraband Camps set up by the Union soldiers and that they no longer returned runaway slaves.
Joseph is forced to whip Charlie after an escape attempt and decides that maybe no man should own slaves. With Joseph’s help, Charlie succeeds in escaping and ends up joining the Union army to help all men be free.
Joseph ends up joining the Confederate army of Tennessee for fear of having to follow his father’s orders and join the Virginia Military Institute. When the two meet on the battlefield in Peachtree Creek, Georgia, can they help save each other or was the plan doomed from the very start?
