When Colonel Joesph Kershaw leaves Camden, South Carolina, to lead the American rebels in their struggle against the British, he leaves his son Joey behind to fight the enemy on his own home turf. As much as Joey fears the dreaded Redcaots, he is more afraid that he may not be able to fulfill his father’s expectations. Try as he might to protect his family, the horrors of the war reach right up to Joey’s doorstep. General Cornwallis marches into town and makes Joey’s house his headquarters. Soon after, the hanging of American prisoners begins in the family garden. Although his mother urges quiet perserverence and Euven, his Quaker teacher, is against violence of any kind, Joey feels that he must strike back at the hated enemy. Joey’s determination to avenge his countrymen and earn his father’s respect places the lives of all his loved ones in jeopardy. But Joey is willing to risk all for a chance at revenge - until one British soldier proves that there are decent men on both sides of the struggle.
