A mid-century Western thriller about a Confederate raider torn between duty to his cause and unexpected human connection in a small Vermont town.

A group of confederate prisoners escape to Canada and plan to rob the banks and set fire to the small town of Saint Albans in Vermont. To get the lie of the land, their leader spends a few days in the town and finds he is getting drawn into its life and especially into that of an attractive widow and her son.
