In the heat‑soaked woods of Tennessee, a lone cavalry scout named Drew Rennie pauses beside a modest tree‑house he once helped build. Dressed in a patchwork of Union‑sourced uniform, he tends to his weary horse before slipping into a fresh shirt, the simple act a brief respite from the relentless march of war. The quiet moments by the brook reveal a man hardened by battle yet still clinging to fragments of a life left behind.
Rennie’s thoughts turn to a looming rendezvous at Red Springs, a place tied to painful memories and dangerous loyalties. As a Confederate “rebel” navigating a landscape scarred by conflict, he must balance the demands of his mission against the simmering hatred that fuels his resolve. The tension between duty, survival, and the ghosts of his past drives him forward, promising a tense journey through the war‑torn South.
