A dark Western about a traumatized Confederate commander turned ruthless outlaw, exploring how loss and violence corrupt former soldiers.

The story follows a band of former Confederate soldiers who were part of a cavalry unit. Their commander, Graff, had once been a heroic and staunch supporter of the Southern cause, but after losing his family, he became coldhearted and ruthless. His second-in-command is Eustis, whom Graff has trained on the strategies of leadership and combat command.
