Rosamund is home in Tenn, being courted by a handsome Union officer while her younger brother Tom chaffs because he wants to fight for the South. Ros and her family try to hold on to a valuable stallion-her father bred horses-as the Yankees take more and more of their animals away, and local thieves also threaten the farm. A mysterious Confederate soldier comes to Rosamund's aid, and soon she is not sure whom she can depend on--nor whom her heart desires.
