Civil War soldier Andrew Jackson Mundy served under charismatic West Point graduate Evan Martin, a brilliant and ambitious soldier. At the head of a ragtag Confederate army, General Martin was charged with thwarting a Federal invasion and made the impressionable Mundy his aide-de-camp. At first, Martin achieved tactical and strategic miracles, but all too soon, the General showed his true self, and an unwilling Mundy became a participant in a shameful atrocity at the Battle of Milroy Station.
