In the midst of the American Civil War, a young soldier faces a moral dilemma as he begins to question the cause for which he has been fighting. After witnessing the brutality and hopelessness on the battlefield, he decides to desert and flee north, yearning for a life away from the conflict. During his journey, he encounters a group of refugees also seeking to escape the war, and alongside them, the soldier discovers the true meaning of camaraderie and the struggle for survival.
Among the new friends he makes, a special connection arises with a strong and determined woman who has lost everything because of the conflict. As he ventures further north, confronting dangers and betrayals, he begins to question whether there really is a safe place he can call home. However, his past does not let him go so easily, and his story of desertion will not be easy to forget.
Fighting against his inner demons and the realities of war, the soldier learns that true courage is not always measured on the battlefield, but through the decisions we make in moments of crisis. As the memories of war haunt him, his quest for redemption becomes a harrowing journey that could lead him to freedom or to a tragic conclusion. In his trek, he discovers that peace can come at a high price, and that what we fear most is often facing our own truths.
