Synopsis
Blake Bradford, a young Confederate soldier seeking revenge on the soldiers who killed his father, falls into the hands of the enemy when he is wounded at the Perryville battle. But as the young Federal soldiers took him into their company, protected him and treated him like a friend.
In the battle at Richmond and Perryville in Kentucky and Stones River in Tennessee, young Blake comes face to face with the horrors of war and the gut-wrenching destruction and aftermath of battle with its loss of life and of friends, wounded and killed.
After everything he has seen, he no longer wants to kill the Yanks. He just wants to go home. But can he make it home alive?
