One boy must reconcile courage, fear and duty as he marches to the battle that will shape his life. The year is 1863 and the United States is immersed in a bloody civil war. This was a time where honor was tested and patriotism redefined. Young Henry Flemming joins the endless marching drudgery toward battle, but flashes of panic interrupt this hard slog. After faltering and losing his way, Henry musters up what courage he has left and, with unforeseen fierceness, leads a charge that captures the enemy's flag, just as he recaptures his own pride and honor.
