A post-Civil War psychological drama about friendship tested by trauma, as one man's descent into violence threatens to destroy both their lives and a woman's place between them.

Two friends return home after their discharge from the army after the Civil War. However, one of them has had deep-rooted psychological damage due to his experiences during the war, and as his behavior becomes more erratic--and violent--his friend desperately tries to find a way to help him.
