Adam and Abby grew up together. In 1861, Adam joins the U.S. Cavalry to fight in the American Civil War. Adam is instrumental in several major battles but his family loses contact with him after the battle of Antietam. Now, in 1864 in the Battle of the Wilderness Adam comes back into play. He leads a daring assault against the Confederates, in the same woods that he made his home many years previous. The ghosts of the past, reuniting again, damned to fight an epic battle.
