When Rensey joins the Confederate Army with a group of teenagers from his hometown, he is absolutely certain he’s doing the right thing. After all, they are heroically protecting his state from Northern invaders. But Rensey and his friends quickly discover that war is not the glorious adventure of their boyhood dreams. Rather, it becomes a nightmare of terror as he is forced to kill or be killed.

Through countless battles and determined bravery, Rensey becomes a hero in the eyes of his fellow soldiers, but deep inside Rensey can’t help but wonder if he's doing the right thing. But as the months of war turn to years, the battle-hardened boys begin to wonder if they’ll even survive.

It is not until he returns home that he able to see how God used the war to bring about a great change to the country, even through years of tremendous chaos, and it is at that point where he finally has peace of mind about the events of the past few years.
