Albany rescues Paxton who has been temporarily blinded by the cannon fire that killed his horse. Regaining his sight, Paxton is stunned to learn his companion is the enemy and a woman. As the couple travels the ground, meeting slaves, ne'er-do-wells, and children, they seek safe havens during the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House. Amid the chaos of battle, they fall in love.
