On the battlefront at Antietam Creek in 1862, Confederate captain Charles Main confronts his friend and West Point classmate Billy Hazard.

General George Hazard is captured and jailed in a dreaded Confederate prison, run by a brutal commandant, while General Orry Main is wounded.

Bittersweet reunions and tragedy befall both the Hazard and Main families in the wake of the Civil War, but the bond of friendship sealing George Hazard and Orry Main is reaffirmed.
